Like a receding tide
the ocean of wildflower color
begins its subtle retreat in August.
Where observation and imagination meet nature in poetry.

I love lavender! I know a lady who had a lavender themed bathroom — towels, soaps, wallpaper, etc. and it always smelled like lavender too. I want to copy her someday.
thanks for stopping by and liking my post on ‘The Wind is not my friend’. You live in a beautiful part of the country and your photos and poems help give a real sense of the beauty that surrounds you. Best Wishes
Lavender is a favorite scent of mine. I use the essential oil for medicinal purposes as well as just smelling the aroma for my pleasure. It is so all purpose and it is also beautiful growing. So nice to see your photo and your words describe the fading of the windflowers to perfectly.
The lavender and green are perfect compliments. Striking photo!
Gorgeous photo.
Superb!
I can smell the wonderful fragrance in the breeze!
Reblogged this on Art, animals, and the earth.
lovely photo and apt words
Thank you for liking my post. I like what you have here – lovely photos!
Lavender is my favorite smell. It is impossible to find in Florida in fresh form, but now that I’ve moved to Minnesota, I’ve been able to find it everywhere! Love the accompanying photo.
We also have Lavender here in South Africa and have some farms where it is cultivated for the essential oils it produces. Ours look quite different to yours but the colour is the same. My wife has Lavender growing alongside the house just outside our bedroom.
This is beautifully written and I for one love lavender.
…and this is another one that gets a lot of use in borders over here. I plant it to give height, without interfering with the view. Verbena bonariensis – a marvellous, light, airy bee and butterfly magnet.
This is spectacular Catherine, thank you. I love wildflowers in the soil and am ever grateful to see tonight.
I appreciate this post from 2012–a month before I sobered up.
today’s post Lead me here- I spent a phase of my life writing in the lavender realm high above the lavender skies where cotton candy blue clouds swainy of unfurl where each one chews dusty-rose colored bubble gum and every buddies heaven a ball.
