Lavender

When we arrived in May this was what fields of lavender looked like. I took this photo on the way home from a hike up to the Dent de Rez. I didn't realize that I would return to take a photo every month.
As we drove to our various destinations in early June we started to notice the purple haze on the fields.


Finally as we were packing up to leave the Ardèche the full impact of the lavender in this region was evident. As one looked over the surrounding hills it was a patchwork quilt of vineyards that continue to be green and the purple, blue and hues in-between of lavender.
