Last spring the lilac bush beside my deck was filled with beautiful white blooms releasing their fragrant scent into the wind. Those blooms have long been gone as are all the leaves on the bush.
Next year's buds are waiting for the warmth of Spring.Please click on the badge at the top of my post to join our hosts Luiz and Denise to see a beautiful bouquet of flowers from around the world.

Hi Carletta, still beautiful even without the blooms. I love the close up of the bud, a promise of things to come :)
I love the color of green the buds are. That is my favorite color.
The Lilac buds show it, time does not rest. growing, growing to bring you pleasure next spring.
Have a nice week.(The buds look lovely too!)
Nice buds.
I love the expectation. What a nice idea for fall, to post a bud. I anticipate a beautiful scent come spring.
Nice healthy bud and a nice clean shot.
Beautiful flower!

Excellent idea. Spring sounds so nice. I guess I have to wait just like the buds. MB
I do miss the buds of spring right about now. :)
Beautiful pictures!
A beautiful promise of what is to come!
Nice~ Once it blooms it will be gorgeous I'm sure :)
Yeah for lilacs! And old timey flower but one of my favorites.

Nice pics:)
Carletta, great idea to post the lilac buds. Nice shots.
Lilacs are one of my favorites!!
that's nice. well taken.
Very nice picture ! Since yesterday I have a lot of choice for beautiful pictures ! I am in Egypt at the Red Sea. It's wonderful and very warm ! First pictures on my blog tomorrow !
That is such a "hopeful" picture!
Gorgeous.... nice to know that Spring is waiting even as winter settles in. It's damp and chilly here and we are even having snow flurries, though nothing is sticking. Sun has been scarce for the past few days but it's at least peaking in and out today.
Those buds make me wish spring was coming rather than winter. :)
Ahh...lilacs! One of the few things I miss from my youth in the Midwest. Our lilacs were so beautiful that people would pull over and get out of their cars to start stripping the bushes...until Mom got after them!
Unique, I'll wait up for it to open on the coming posts =D
Waiting for Spring is always a good action. Hope. Future.
I'm going to have to go look at my lilacs...I didn't know that..

Nice capture of those cute little buds. :-)
Excellent macros Carletta. Neat how some plants prepare now for next year's blooming.
I love the lilacs, and below the rhodie, in bud. They wait so patiently, don't they? And thanks so much for visiting my Begonias photo for Flowers for Today last week. I really appreciate it. Sara
