Pelindaba Lavender Festival

Today I took a lunch break from my computer work here and drove over to the Pelindaba Lavender Festival.

The lavender farm is one of the most beautiful man-made things I have yet to experience.

All 5 senses were evoked:
1. Sight. Fields and fields of my beloved purple!
2. Scent. Heavenly and intoxicating lavender heavy in the air.
3. Taste. Lavender infused food and drinks.
4. Touch. Waving a hand across all the plants and making sachets.
5. Sound. Yes, sound. Thousands and thousands of bees.

15 acres of purple is truly a sight to behold should you ever find yourself on San Juan Island in the summer. Or for that matter, Provence. :-)


All the best,
Michelle

I am jealous. I want to be there. Pictures pretty enough to frame. Would love to try to do one in watercolors.
