Description
It is time to fish for trout. Grandfather told when the leaves on the lilac are as big as a mouses ear the trout in the brook will bite. Here is a look at some leaves coming out on our lilac bush today. Thank you for looking. Best of weekends to you all. -GB-

wonderful macro!!!
What a wonderful saying your grandfather taught you! Beautiful image and light and wonderful details! Hope you will post the blooms later as well!
Wonderful capture and details. That's so funny! I took some shots of these the other day and didn't know their meaning. IT was snowing and they were covered in the deep wet stuff, however, and I wouldn't think of baiting my hook at such a time.
superb macro!!!

Beautifully detailed and what a lovely saying, and they do look like little furry ears

Very pretty macro George! Yep the guys here are talking about trout fishing:-) I expect some will play hooky from work a day or two:-)
splendid macro ... excellent way to ring in Spring!
I'm sure your grandpa was right...good Farmer's Almanac type info. Excellent macro GB.
excellent focus through out and beautiful buds
Excellent capture.
I have never heard that saying before, and I used to be a fisherman as well. Superb macro, zoom is a must for this. Bravo!!!!!5++++ That little button for super macro is the best thing on the Fuji, I used to have the S7000 before upgrading to the S9600, I like the tilt screen on this one comes in handy for tight corners.
Excellent spring macro !
Very great shot with nice details!
great shot, thanks for sharing the memories of your Grandfather,I'd never heard that saying before either. We have lilac trees in the garden too, and my Uncle and grandfather use to fish many moon ago. Tracey xxxxxx
