Where is everyone this month? ...including me!!
Looks like Kelly is the only one with Lilacs on her mind.
I always manage to get to the festival for at least one evening and I went last week to see Rusted Root. Took LOTS of photos and plan to post a few before the month is over, for this challenge. I go for the people watching more than the flowers...so expect more faces than petals from me. Hope that's still in keeping with the subject.
