Sockie and the Lilacs

On Friday, Sockie and I wanted to go and see the Lilac Festival for the opening day, so we grabbed some things and headed out. The sun was shining, the air was warm, and it was a perfect day to go explore some lilac blossoms. Unfortunately, not too many were open and blooming yet, but we found a few bushes that had already opened.

Here's Sockie with the first bush we found!

And some lilacs from that bush!

Next we walked over to the magnolias. They are such gorgeous trees.

After that, we wandered around in the vendors section and I drooled over things I couldn't afford. Then we walked over to a bench and relaxed and had a snack.

There were pretty flowers and cherry blossoms around the bench, so I took some pictures!

I found this lovely bush when we were walking out of the festival.

It was such a lovely day for wandering around the festival. We didn't stay there too long, only about two hours, but that was enough for Sockie and I to enjoy the fragrances and beauty around us. :)
