The fragrance of Lilacs permeates the air in Spring. This is my favorite childhood memory flower. Smelling this delicate yet strong bloom, can transport me back to walking home from grade school along the Lilac lined path.
THE MEANING & SYMBOLISM OF
lilac
The story of lilac, according to Greek mythology, begins
with a beautiful nymph named Syringa (lilac’s botanical name).
Captivated by her beauty, Pan, the god of the forests and fields,
chased Syringa through the forest. Frightened by Pan’s affections,
Syringa escaped him by turning herself into an aromatic bush – the
flower we now refer to as lilac.Now, having shared with you my story of Lilacs, I have been reminded by a sweet reader that there are features in our Focusing on Life blog that many of you may not be aware... Follow me as I show you a very fun item you can "play" with.
Following the RIGHT side bar... WAAAAAY down, below our photos is a button called the
DYNAMIC VIEW -- if you click on that it will take you to a spot where you can click on a variety of "looks" of our blog.
This is the Snapshot view -- they look like the old fashioned Polaroids.
This is the Magazine view.
The Time line view shows you our post for a week at a time.
Another view (admittedly my favorite) is the Flip card view. There are still other views: the Classic, Mosaic, and Sidebar.

Honestly, I had never really looked at this little gem...and that is what it is a gem. Thank you, Claudia for drawing attention to this. I may have to investigate this for my blog as well.
Thank you, Blogmeister! Or is that Blogmeistess? Anyhow ... thanks for showing us all this fun stuff that we can do at FOL. It gives us such lovely, creative ways to enjoy the wonderful artwork we've assembled and to revisit our fine writers.
Hugs,

I remember discovering this awhile back and it is so much fun! My favorite is the Flip Card view too! It really shows off all of the wonderful work here at FOL.
You girls are always teaching me something new! I like the Mosaic look.
What gorgeous photos of the lilacs! I can almost smell their wonderful aroma! And thanks for showing us the dynamic view - although now that's just one more thing that I'll spend time online with instead of folding laundry!! I can't decide which I like best!
Oh, and those lilacs are stunning! Wish I could smell them!
I hope you don't mean - which you like best - us or the laundry!
HAHA! No, of course I like FOL better than laundry! Can't decide which dynamic view I like best! :)
