What a lot of lavender fields! Gorgeous colours again

I went looking for Monieux on Google maps and realised you were in the Nesque valley which we saw from up above with the lavender 'on the brink' of blooming. The map tells me there is a rather nice looking restaurant in Monieux...

Love this image which brings back the heat of such a day and lavender, years ago. Bravo!

I wish i were there. I can feel the air, feel the light. Thank you, Julian

Frances

You have really captured the fresher clearer air. Colours are beautiful. Thank you for sharing all of this. It's a wonderful thing.

This one melts my heart. It is beautiful. And Ruth's book is a delight. I was enjoying it so much, I didn't want it to end. After being about two thirds of the way through, I set it aside for a while. Then picked it up again only to read several pages at a time so it would last a little longer. I have finished it now . . . and the smile lingers.
Thank you both for sharing your joy.

Painter’s notes

And the wind came and blew the rain away. An ideal wash-day, you had to choose your spot for painting carefully and we have clean sheets on the beds.
