Lavender is not blue.. by maggiemae

Lavender is not blue..

Lavender round this property all comes from the same cutting. I bought a new one and wanted to admire it on the outside table so put it into a pot. Chose this POV to get the great huge bush of Ceanothus behind. It is about to burst into blue!

Three good things:
1. Washed and dried sheets and needed John’s help for folding. Of course I can’t help myself and jerk the end to pull them out of his hands. Then still laughing, find myself with the same jerk! Thats not the guy but the movement!
2. Ordered a pizza online which we do about 3 - 4 times a year! It was so mentally exhausting we had to start the order again!
3. Decided that if today was a non-outside day ..and a holiday, I could watch TV - so I set myself a ‘planking’ exercise every time there were advertisements!
Beautiful, colorful image...lovely details and dof

Ooh how funny, your #GT are so amusing! I am so fussy about folding the sheets off the line I can never wait for Harry to get into the right place, a good fold makes all the difference to the crease situation! Planking too, I think I might have to try that! We have never ordered a take away in our lives, I'm not sure they would find us before it got cold! Lovely favourite lavender! So vivid in colour.

@happypat I read that long partnerships happen with lots of shared laughter, Pat so knew I would laugh if I got John unawares!

These are very interesting- and must smell really nice when out in the garden. Great back lighting!

I don't know that I have ever seen lavender like this before it is absolutely beautiful. Terrific shot of it.

Pizza and planking somehow those two things sound counterproductive but I applaud you for doing it, the planking, on every commercial. If you have as many as we do in the states you must be In great shape!

Such wonderful colors and light. I've never seen lavender like this before. I love the smell and use the essential oil for sleeping. Fav
October 25th, 2016  
They are stunning! Love the colors and love the backdrop!

@grammyn Planking doesn't use calories but just firms muscle. After eating all that pizza, I am probably heavier but I can't worry about that!

beautiful photo
October 25th, 2016  
Stunning flowers. So have a little pizza and fold those sheets and watch some tv. You deserve a little break. FAV
October 25th, 2016  
@miata2u You are so kind, Peggy! I feel better about the pizza now!

Love the way you captured the light in this shot. very effective
October 25th, 2016  
I wonder what sort of chemical reactions developed here, it indeed very pinky.
October 25th, 2016  
Lovely lavender, beautiful colours!
October 25th, 2016  
@yaorenliu I don't think chemistry played a part here, Yao - entirely natural! Maybe the sun played a big part!
October 25th, 2016  
Gorgeous colour - I have a couple of pink ones too and I love them.
October 25th, 2016  
@nickspicsnz They are more pink than lavender but very bright!

lovely vibrant colours in this shot. Your comments do make me laugh especially your #1.
October 25th, 2016  
Fav. The light is making this lavender even more pretty. You have spring and summer to look forward to as we head into winter. Know where I'd rather be.
October 25th, 2016  
Wonderful translucence.

Sounds like the perfect day (except I didn't see any reference to chocolate?) and beautifully lit photo with great DoF and background color.

@granagringa I think about chocolate every day, nothing new!
