"I think it p-ss-s God off . . . ."

In Alice Walker's 1985 book and the later movie, The Color Purple, Shug says to Celie: "I think it pisses God off when you walk by the colour purple in a field and don't notice it."

So here is my notice of some lilacs on Poly near Rehberg, see above, and some more lilacs in my own back yard, see below. Like a lot of living things it seems like their window of opportunity is achingly short.
