I am thinking of the lilac-trees,
That shook their purple plumes,
And when the sash was open,
Shed fragrance through the room.

HHNT.
You're so beautiful, Dana. I hope somebody tells you that every single freakin day.
What a lovely photo!!!!!! Happy HNT
Running through the park naked? Now that's what I'm talking about! ;-)
That's just *gorgeous*. Tis the time of the season for all kinds of blooms, no?
Happy HNT!
That's so beautiful.
Simply gorgeous Dana. The sight and the smell, perfect. Cheers!!
Snortin' the lilacs again, huh?
My interest in gardening has just been rekindled.
HHNT!
What a lovely garden!!
Beautiful!
HHNT!
A lovely picture :)
I used to have a lilac tree and, indeed, its scent was noticeable from so far away ... I can never smell lilac without remembering.
Happy HNT to you!
I shall never again think of lilacs in the same way I did before this morning. Lovely!
PP, the lilacs were just too tempting!
Vixen, thank you! HHNT!
Evening, lilacs are the best - delicate yet strong!
Masquerade, I think maybe I should learn to tell myself that every day.
Baby, thank you! HHNT!
Jay, that would be frolicking, not running *wink*
Ms. I, we were slow in getting the blooms this year, but now that they are here ...
Jules, thank you! HHNT!
Matt-Man, I sometimes wonder if the most beautiful part of the lilac isn't the smell.
Os, there is something adictive about those lilacs ...
Adam, nature is a wonderful prop!
BadBadGirl, thank you!
MarcelloNYC, thank you! HHNT!
Ro, my grand parents had a lilac tree in their front yard when I was growing up. The scent still brings the strongest memories.
Nick, you must be leery of those lilac nymphs!
Lilacs are so pretty! Even more lovely with you hiding behind them. Very pretty picture! Happy HNT!
so thats whats behind the flower bush lol HHNT
The is a very nice picture. I like the purple against your skin. Being naked in nature is always nice. HHNT
Hot damn! pixie, minx, soft, butter, the things first popping into my head. Visually apealing, really. The colors are GREAT. There is no oops here, damn you did it again :)
Beautiful and colorful.
Amorous, it was kind of fun playing in the lilacs!
Mike, did you see the bush move?
Naughty-I, being nekkid is just plain nice!
Lu, you are so silly! Wanna come play in the lilacs with me?
Richard, thank you! HHNT!
Well i thought i saw some flowers move but it could of been something else that moved lol
Play in the Lilacs, now that sounds tempting. I wouldn't want to be nekkid though, there would be a whole lot a shakin' goin' on:)
You look like Eve right after having an apple as a snack....
Great picture! I love how sneaky you look hiding there. And you're grass is so green! HHNT! :)
"LOOK - its a wood nymph"
It would be tough not to sneeze wouldn't it was I waited not so patiently for the chance to be near that beauty! But it would be SO worth it! WOW!
HHNT!
You are officially the Queen of HNT...and is the house next to yours for sale!? hehehe
Mike, it might have been a bug - there were lots of critters out there *wink*
Lu, I'm sure we could both shake things up a bit!
Buff, I do have a bit of a devious look in my eyes, don't I?
FF, I had to be a bit sneaky - those lilacs are in my front yard!
DB, maybe next time you are foraging for mushrooms in the woods you'll come across one of the elusive nymphs!
ATTLG, as long as I don't sneeze and lose my "cover" we should be OK!
Bond, do I get a tiara with that title?? The house next door isn't for sale, but the one across the street is!
Stunning! I'd love to see a big pic of the backyard! The grass looks fabulous! ;)
whatcha hiding from? your beautiful and do not need to hide
hhnt
A bug? well why didn`t you say as i would of only been too willing to check your bush for those little critters! lol
Absolutely gorgeous! I can almost smell the lilacs, and boy would I love to find a beautiful naked woman hiding amongst mine!
What can I say. Once again this is a beautiful picture! And Lilacs are my all time favorite flower, or shrub, or bush, whatever you call them. Can anything be better than that smell?
Well, I guess something can be better! YOU ding behind it!
You look as good as they smell. ;)And the green background just adds so much to this shot.
That makes me think of lilac wine, and that makes me think... What a beautiful Nature Girl you make.
Daring and provocative with the scent of lilacs. Nicely done!!
Love the lilacs! I'm glad they finally bloomed! It must have been fun sneaking around in your front yard. Very daring!
RLL, the back yard isn't very exciting, but the front is quite colorfull this year. I've been discussing doing a vlog with a fellow blogger so, if the weather is nice, you might get to see it tomorrow!
Hank, thank you *blushes* HHNT!
Mike, somehow that just sounds ... well ... wrong *giggle*
Biscuit, the best part of taking these pics was that I smelled like lilacs all night long! Next time you walk by your lilacs, you might want to look really close to see who might be hiding there!
Bina, I was wishing I could blog the smell - it always makes me smile!
Good Dr., thank you! HHNT!
Not2Shy, it's my Seattle upbringing that makes me this way.
G-Man, I think the thrill of the "catch" was the most fun in this process.
Apple, if the truth be known, I should have been a nudist ... but don't tell anyone!
*goes bright red! re reading it and it does sound not just wrong but a little naughty too lol
I am thinking of the plumes shaking behind the lilac tree. Somehow I can actually smell the scent. Interesting new twist on exciting the senses with your hnt.
Great color and composition. Outstanding! You should play Mute Mondays!
Happy HuNTing.
Mike, naughty isn't necessarily bad as long as it's done in good taste!
Knight, there is just something about the smell of lilacs that drives me wild ... and makes me want to get half-nekkid in the front yard!
Troll, thank you! I may have to take a look at Mute Mondays.
Well i hope it was taken the right way? as i do get carried away sometime lol
If your neighbors suddenly come up missing, and I move in next door.... think nothing of it!
Oh that is both stunning and provocative. Love it! Cheers and Happy HNT!
Stunning, Truly.
I think Lilacs are my favorite flower. To bad here in the mid-west they only last a short time.
May I ask who took this picture?
Very good photo.
Naked gardening - I'm all for it (except when pruning roses). That's a great picture. Happy HNT.
That looks professionally done Dana. I love lilacs. We had two in our yard when I was a child. One was white and one was purple and they were right next to the clothesline. It was a mixed blessing. I loved the smell of them as I hung up clothes but was terrified of the ever present bees! I'm glad you didn't have bees in yours ;-)
Gorgeous shot! And so exciting being outdoors half naked!:)
HHNT!
Wow. Half Naked outside. Daring!
Mike, we're good! Prude is not a word that is EVER used to describe me *wink*
Leighann, this doesn't have anything to do with that blue barrel I saw in their driveway, does it?
Lecram, thank you! HHNT!
What an unforgettable shot. Bravo! Happy HNT!
Cat, we usually have the lilacs for about a week. They are already starting to drop buds. Oh, and I take ALL of my own HNT's. I've got a tripod and a timer on the camera and do the best that I can with them!
Lapis, roses could be dangerous ... indeed!
Hester, fortunately there were no bees, in fact I haven't seen any bees yet this spring!
I love the touch of mystery in that shot.
HHNT!
Covert, I *heart* being outside nekkid! It really does feel good!
Karen, or illegal ... but only if I get caught!
G & S, thank you so much! HHNT!
Lovely portrait! The lilacs were amazing this year here too!!
HHNT!
A great HNT and before I looked and saw the photo of Jamie Lee I thought, Wow she looks like Jamie Lee...you do you really do.
Beautiful. Love it!
Dana, Are you in the Garden of Eden?
What a beautiful an erotic photo... HHNT!
DANA !!!!!!!
WOW !!!!!!!
I CAN SMELL THAT PICTURE !!!!!
Ab.so.lute.ly GORGEOUS! I luv your expression, the subtle*y of this entire pose ... & the sensuality of it. I always look forward each week 2 "seeing" U. You are soooo naturally beautiful. The lilacs are pretty too. You have sexy shoulders too. Oh heck. I just *really* like this a lot. Happy SO VERY PRETTY HNT 2 U Dana ; )
Bliss, thank you! HHNT!
SeaRabbit, I just couldn't let the lilacs go without borrowing them for a few minutes.
BDenied, Jamie Lee?? Now that is a compliment!
Luka, thank you! HHNT!
Mt. Cat, I am in the garden of eden and I ate that damn apple!!
NaughtyK, erotic? Thank you!
Micky, I can smell it too!
ISmile, you are always so kind - thank you!!

The heck with stopping and smelling the roses.
Lovely as always, Dana. I love the curve of your shoulder!
Beautiful...LOvely! I 'm loving your HNT!!!
HHNT!
A very sexy and stunning HNT!!!
First time visitor; I am hooked!
Boo(Duh), my shoulders are one of the parts of my body that I've always liked!
Jeff, come smell my lilacs!
Mariposa, thank you! HHNT!
Mina, thank you! HHNT!
Kannon7, thanks for stopping by! I'm thrilled that you enjoyed your visit!!
as always, you captured nature beautifully!! It really is a pretty picture.
I love the smell of lilacs. Beautiful flowers, beautiful words, beautiful photo.
You are a veritable goddess. If Paris had seen you first then the whole Trojan war thing would never have happened.
Do you think if I posed that way I would get as many comments?
tt, I'm not one who is big on portraits but I think the lilacs obscured my face enough that it hopefully doesn't come across as a portrait.
b>Cin,/b> I know it's spring when I smell the lilacs.
Neil, *blushes* You know, for some reason it's usually the women who end up with lots of comments on HNT but you could certainly give it a shot! I'd come ogle!
Beautiful picture, really love the flowers and want to pick some right now ;)
Happy belated HNT!
