    Yes, lilac buds do like like little grapes. Wait til they blossom, the whole city seems to swim in a sea of light purple!

    I am looking forward to them too!

    John-Michael:
    Thank you! :-)
    I encounter people like her quite often, yet a chance to take a photograph without revealing their identity does not come too often. I really loved how her coat reflects a shade of blue that seems to be all over Vienna right now.
