Lilacs & A Gingham Dress (Three Months Later)

Lilacs, A Gingham Dress and The Second Post That Almost Wasn't, the artyologist

Well, this post is only. .  . three months late! As you can see from the lilac covered hedge, these photos were taken around the same time as my other lilac post (which also almost wasn’t to be), back in the beginning of June. I fully intended to post these photos at the time, but one thing after another prevented me . . . and then I got busy posting other things, and suddenly summer is almost over and here we are in September!

But, even though they are three months late, and the backdrop is very unseasonal for North America, the lilacs are just too pretty not to share! So I decided that despite the seasonal confusion, I would post them anyways. But, for those of you who are in the Southern Hemisphere, Spring flowers will be rather timely for you 😉 And, if you swapped out the purple flowers for some Autumn leaves in the background, then this gingham dress would suddenly be perfect for Fall.

As much as I love Fall time (Fall is one of my favourite seasons) I can’t deny that these photos make me wistful for Spring again. Look at how green and lush it was! I just can’t get over how vibrant the colours are! I’m looking out my window right now, and the greens have faded, and there is a hint of yellow in the leaves of the trees. Slowly the season is changing; the evenings are getting cooler, the days shorter, and the air feels crisp. Some people find it sad that summer is over, and although I do feel that way sometimes (mainly because the warm months went by so quickly and I didn’t get everything done that I wanted to) I do enjoy each season in its own way.

Well, I suppose I don’t really have much of anything else to say about these photos, and whatever I was going to say at the time has long been forgotten. 😉

Do you live somewhere with four distinct seasons? Do you enjoy one season more than the others? Do you have an outfit you like to wear that works equally well for one season as another?
