A favorite spot to photograph at Peace Valley Lavender Farm is the area where the bunches of cut lavender are hanging to dry. The fragrance of dried lavender can last as long as 15 years. I have a sachet in the car and all I need to do is squeeze it a little and the lavender fragrance fills the air! It’s one of those fragrances that I just can’t get enough of … just like lilacs and honeysuckle!

I always hope for nice clouds on days when I am photographing landscapes or seascapes. A plain blue or grey sky doesn’t add much interest to a photo. On this day as I was headed to the lavender farm, the clouds caught my attention all by themselves. Who doesn’t love watching the clouds and looking for shapes? These cloud formations remind me of curling waves at the top and foamy sea water at the bottom so I had to photograph them just because. Maybe I’ll start a new collection of images called “cloudscapes”!

I was photographing a butterfly on a pink coneflower when lo and behold, a friend showed up to join him/her. Two butterflies and two coneflowers … I’ll take that for a photo op any day!
