Visiting the lavender fields of France is a joyful experience for all the senses.
Seeing the vibrant lavender hues in field after field after field...
Smelling the invigorating scent of the flowers...
Feeling the breeze blowing across the fields...
Visiting with lavender growers in their fields...
Not just looking at lavender from afar on a train,
from a distance in a car, or
at the edge of the field walking along,
Instead,
Walking in lavender fields with lavender all around...
Touching lightly the long-stemmed blossoms...
What joy to actually experience French lavender.
Fragrant dried bunches of French lavender from Provence bring
memories of walking among the lavender fields.
Close your eyes ... see the fields.

What gorgeous photos! I would love to visit the lavender fields in France someday!
ReplyDeleteThere are lavender fields in Grand Junction on the western side of the Rocky Mountains here in Colorado, and I' sure I will visit them this summer.
It was nice to visit you today through "Oh the Places I've Been"!
Thanks for stopping by, Pat. My sister and I are planning to visit some lavender fields in central Texas near Austin in early summer.

Pat, I hopped over to see your link to "Oh! The Places I've Been" and loved seeing the Hearst Castle. I had no idea it was that huge and filled with such incredible treasures from Europe. While visiting your blog, I became your latest follower and invite you to follow along with me.

Oh so beautiful! I went to Provence last June (2012) in hopes of seeing the lavender fields in full bloom but we were too early. They were just starting. I did take in all I could from the young buds though and fell in love. I hope to be able to go back again someday at the right time.
ReplyDeleteThanks for pointing me to this post!
