I was
in search of inspiration,
rainbows,
and fairy gardens.
Driving down a sweet little country road,
I found fields of lavender.
What a wonderful world we live in,
when we realize that there is magic all around us.
Inside the most enchanted cottage I found everything Lavender.
Bees were humming, butterflies were gliding and my mind swirled with paintings.
My adventure led me to sweet Cape Cod Lavender Farm.
I left with a bouquet of Lavender, 
and sweet inspirations scented 
with the aroma of Lavender dreams.
The song for this post is Over The Rainbow, 
Please feel free to pick bouquets of Lavender photographs from my post or my Lavender set.

So lovely, Karen. I love lavender, not only the way it looks, but the way it smells. I can smell it when I see a photo, like now.
XO,
Sheila :-)
Such lovely pictures of beautiful lavender. The colour of lavender is one of my favorite colours.
Love Eva Agnes
Karen,
Just lovely. I planted some this year. I would love one little bunch to tuck in a drawer.
Have a great week.
Carol
Stunning Karen!! Love lavender and purple is my favorite color too...what a dream. I bet you did have lots of painting ideas from all these gorgeous photos you took. Look forward to seeing what you create.
Ruth
Oh Karen, how beautiful! You KNOW I love lavender! I have that book that is in one of your photos.
We have a tiny lavender farm here. We visited it a couple of years ago. It smells devine to stand in fields of lavender, listening to the bees buzzing.
Hugs,
Penny

OH DEAR...you are speaking my third language here dearest....you know this is my favorite flower and scent of all time. How I have missed you, your inspiration and kindness, but this post welcomes me back from my 11 days hiatus. Lovely images, and how I would love to run through that field of lavender with you! Anita
OOOH my goodness! I have a lavendar field on my desk top at work I love them so much.
Some day I will come upon one -- that might be a bad thing because i may never leave LOL.
Im soo thinking I need to visit a wizard and have them shrink me so you could take me along for your awesome adventures.
Thanks so much for always sharing the prettiest of life!

(see you around 8:30 Thursday night for Friday Finding Beauty :)
What a wonderful post, wish the computer screen had scent. I love the smell of lavender. Beautiful shots.
Good Morning Karen Sweetie...
What an absolutely breathtaking post. I love lavendar. I could smell it as soon as I opened the page. (This is the first year that I do not have it, I am afraid my garden just died out, and I have been to ill to replant. Maybe next year.)
I wish there were beautiful places to pop upon here in Phoenix, but there aren't many country roads to drive down. Lots of desert roads, but they lead us only to the heat and cactus. No lavendar houses out here. I bet she even had lavendar soaps? They are so nice to tuck in a drawer or two. Even a linen closet.
I thank you for taking me on this beautiful drive today. It has been so wonderful. Your photos as always, are absolutely exquisite Karen sweetie. I love seeing what you create with each photo. I really loved the lavendar inside of the dove.
Thank you for sharing. Have a wonderful and safe 4th of July.
Country hugs sweetie...Sherry
