coconut orchid smells like suntan lotion but better.

is it a lilac?

Not too sure. I’d have it categorised as ‘plant’ !

you'll have to take another photo once it is blooming.

I don't typically get flowers but every now and then I'll point the camera at them when I'm out and about.

That's super cool, with the reflection of a person taking a photo, not being the person who's also taking a photo. It's like an alt-dimension / sliding doors kind of vibe.

Nothing spectacular... Just a pleasant Easter Bank Holiday in Bath.

Old is gold! Whenever I see one of your great photos of old buildings in Bath, I flash back to my astonishment when in Los Angeles for the first time in early 60s, driving past a pizza place that said Proudly Serving LA since 1954! I remarked on it with amusement to my host, who sighed and said yeah and the previous building on that site was also probably torn down before it was ten years old...

In the city I grew up in, always trying various ways to capture the homes juxtaposed with the ocean.

Old is gold, definitely.
In some ways we get used to things being so old here. The city (really a big town!) dates back to the Romans who came to build their baths. Typical!

I know what you mean about things lasting not 10 years. I lived for a decade and more in Hong Kong. Talk about here today gone tomorrow. Sell by date of new buildings? 10 years max. The quicker they go up the faster they come down.

Looks like it was a windy day. Or is it a windy city?

Yes, very windy that day and made for all the dramatic white caps out there. I used to live about a block from this location and it was really cool to watch the ocean and all of its mood swings lol.

I can watch the ocean all day.
