A trip to the Lavender fields

For a long time I wanted to see the Lavender fields. I dreamed of the photos I could take there, of my family or somebody else’s session. Finally, I decided to just go!

The place was beautiful. First we had to walk  through a million bees, the buzzing, the twirling of them all around me and Lainey it was a bit much.She cried all the way up! I’m not sure if she was scared, or if she could feel my own worries as I walked my way up the hill as fast as I could, as if I was running for our own lives!

Now, if you are allergic, it would be scary! But actually, they don’t really bother you and you can walk in the other side avoiding all together the fields, and the busy bees.

Finally we arrived, I nursed her. She calmed down. She ate a banana and we enjoyed our time there. The view, the fragance in the air, the blue sky full of fluffy puffy white clouds. It was all so wonderful, that I didn’t want to leave! There was a wheat field behind us which was gorgeous.

As I cut as much lavender as I could, I was thinking all the different things I could do with them : little fragance pillows, tea, cupcakes…and I took my own sweet time…it was a whole experience! I over heard Marc saying: how long does it take to cut lavender? ha ha I was just enjoying myself a bit too much. There’s something about being among nature. It fills your soul. The creation.

We took a few photos. The sun was too sharp in that time of the day. I wish we could have  stayed longer. We must come back for another whole day. Next time, I will enjoy a cup of tea with some cake.
