A couple weeks ago it was Cherry Festival, and now June kicks off the Highland Springs Lavender Festival at the Highland Springs Resort (where they actually grow various species of lavender and rosemary). Lots of good food & beverages flavored with lavender. My favorite was the lavender custard ice cream. Boy was it yummy!
Despite shooting in the midday sun, I was able to grab quite a few decent shots. In this first series I give you the very aromatic and tasty lavender plant.
#1 Field of blooming lavender interrupted by a piece of antiquated farm equipment.
#2 Macro of a lavender bloom.
#3 A bundle of lavender for sale.
#4 A neat little table decoration with lavender and other flowers. A bit hot on the table but what can ya do in the midday sun?
