Beauty Within: Craigleith Lilacs Series July 21, 2008

This series of images was taken in the spring of 2008 along the Georgian Trail close to the historic “Depot” in Craigleith. Once covering an area of almost nine acres, the stands of lilacs are thought to have originated with some cuttings brought to the area by the wife of one of the early Depot Stationmasters. The lilacs have became famous, and it is common to see visitors to the area stopping to take photos of the display when the lilacs are in full bloom. Of course no photo can capture the heavenly perfume of the blossoms!

Acres of lilacs line the Georgian Trail at Craigleith, Ontario.

Lilacs make excellent subjects for the polarizing technique I’ve been using for the Beauty Within series. The delicate petals wrap beautifully around the tight blossom clusters and shiny green foliage of the lilacs. Lovers of delicate spring shades of white, purple and green may enjoy images in this series.
