Thank you, Cee! I took those pics in early June and I think the wind kept the bees away that day.

Awww, I love the Mark Twain quote. Our friends Jill and Gaylord have the most beautiful lavender bushes. The huge one we had in CA was sprawling across our driveway. It had to forgive us many times. I almost took pictures of it the other day, but I like the background and colors in yours better. I didn’t have the lighting or the grass that makes your picture pop so much!

Thank you, Marsha! I planted two tiny bushes and one is in a pot waiting to sprawl into a large planter soon. I took these at the Evening Light lavender farm about 8 miles from us. Nice place 💜

Possibly my favorite scent. Beautiful shots that remind me of visiting the lavender fields in Provence some years ago. Even though the harvest had happened, the scent was still intoxicating! Lavender was so inexpensive at the French markets there too. Love the Twain quote.

Pretty images and I am imagining that scent as well … I could use with a little aromatherapy right now. We are under a tornado watch, maybe turning into a tornado watch after midnight (sounds like a Cinderella story). I would normally be sound asleep.

Yes it is. Thank you. I’m reluctant to head to bed, despite having a weather radio – so far so good and we’ve not gone from watch to warning in my area, so that is good.
