lavender (again)

I came across this bed of lavender on a trip with our family visitors to a local park. There's something about this which appeals to me, although it's certainly not the best shot in the world!

Thanks for all your comments over the past few days.
It is quite evocative Peter yet it hurts my eyes if I dwell on it. Wish I could grow lavender which i might be able to do if I knew why it dies on me!

The colour and the smell - so lovely.

It's got a feel of a natural meadow. You know, not planted but naturally lovely. (I'm probably not making much sense, hahah!) Beautiful dof.

It's a snapshot of those long, tranquil summer afternoons filled with light, warmth and the drone of bees around the lavender (not that I can see any bees but I bet they were there). Things like this are good for you.

@carmel They are, indeed, And there were bees! I tried to get them on camera but they eluded me!!!

Looks like a fun meadow to be in! I like how you caught lavender of different heights!

Feels sort of natural - as opposed to when it is trimmed to within an inch of its life!

The light on the lavender is so high summer, and yes I think I can hear the gentle drone of warm bees.....! Nice weather to have had visitors, if a little warm!

I like it, it's got that oldy-worldly rambling garden feeling that I love so much
