Oh wow! That's beautiful!

Doesn't the Skagit Valley also have a lavender festival a little later in the year?

[anghara.livejournal.com]

Uh, I think that's further north, a bit...was it on one of the islands last year?... can't remember 'zactly.

But if I trip over it this year, maybe more photos can be taken [grin]

Oooh, pretty! Thanks! :)

[aeriedraconia.livejournal.com]

Wow! Lovely photos! Did you buy any bulbs? Do they sell bulbs?

[anghara.livejournal.com]

yes but they don't deliver them until September. I got catalogues though...

[aeriedraconia.livejournal.com]

Uh oh, she's got catalogues...that sounds dangerous! :-) Do you have a place picked out for your new bulby goodness?

[anghara.livejournal.com]

[grin] honeychile, take a GOOD look around the garden next time you are up this way. I've ALREADY got more than 100 bulbs out there...

[aeriedraconia.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I saw that. *pretty!* So, where are you gonna put the new ones? :-)

[anghara.livejournal.com]

Well, I haven't *ordered* amy new ones yet. But if/when I do... anywhere I can. I just LOVE bulbs.

[nycshelly.livejournal.com]

Ooo, tulips. Pretty.

[anghara.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

great photos!
btw, the lavender fest is in sequim.

[anghara.livejournal.com]

Hm, there must be two then because I seem to remember there was another (possibly smaller) thing going on somewhere quite close to where I am...

[heidimo.livejournal.com]

there may well be, but i believe you and i live in the same town, which is partly why i friended you. i am unaware of any other lavender fest, but i claim no expertise on such matters! :D i only know there is one in sequim because my sister attended it last year. i don't suppose we can have too many lavender fests.

[anghara.livejournal.com]

We should meet up for coffee or something one of these days. We can't live more than half an hour's drive from each other.

[heidimo.livejournal.com]

sure! i live in happy valley and i work downtown part of the week.

Re. that lavender festival...

[anghara.livejournal.com]

Look here: http://www.lummi-island.com/home.htm

It says, a little way down the page, "Each summer there is a Lavender Festival in July."

I knew I'd seen some fliers around last year.

[heidimo.livejournal.com]

oh, on lummi! i never heard of it, but it's probably fun times.

Lovely colours! I had no idea that fields like that could be found anywhere but Holland.

[anghara.livejournal.com]

They always startle me when I first see them, the sweep of colour. They're GREAT things to photograph, they just sit there and lure you in. There were people with great galumphing Real Cameras (tm) and lenses half the length of your arm - people take this photo op VERY seriously...
