14 photos of Calgary lilacs looking absolutely stunning

Calgary’s colourful Lilac Festival may have come and gone, but the beautiful flowers that have blossomed around the city are here to stay.

A fortunate mix of rain and sun over the past few weeks have allowed Calgary’s flowers to open up and bless us all with their sweet scent, stunning colours, and extremely photographic aesthetic.

More than a few of the budding photographers (get it?) around the city took the opportunity to capture the natural beauty of the lilacs in bloom, and we’ve put together a few of our very favourite shots for you to enjoy.

Though we always recommend getting out there yourself for a closer look!
