mountainside lavender farming.

it's hard to believe how long it has been since i have written on here. i suppose that whole living life thing has just gotten in the way of that whole, observing and photographing others living life thing. yay for me! boo for the blogosphere! anywho, fret not, i have returned and i'm hoping to not turn this into a limited engagement type of thing as i plan for adventures, and spontaneity, (can one plan for spontaneity? seems a wee bit oxymoronic.) and picture taking!!! yahhhooozie! anyways, enough of the gibber jabber and more of the pictures that flatter.... 
so yesterday my roomie and i hopped in le coche (that's car for those not fluent in spanglish) and took a rode adventure of sorts 45 min outside of our beautiful city of portland. while weaving through the farmlands we finally arrived and our destination, the mountainside lavender farm. having no idea what to expect, armed with sunblock, camera, and clipping sheers we set out on a, what will be repeated yearly exploration, into the wonderful world of lavender farming. 5 bushels of lavender were cut down in a beautiful labor of love and in anticipation of delicious crafting. surrounded by the friendliest of bee swarms that i have ever met, i chopped and photographed my way into a blissful gathering of lavender that is now coming out my wazoo (so to speak). (does anyone else smell or sense christmas gifts that will be in the works? shhhhh, don't tell).  ooooooh, side bar about the bees.... i was later told that they most likely were so docile because they were stoned off the lavender juju. how awesome is that!!! anyways, without further adieu, here ya go.... some pics of flowers, bees, a little girl on a swing carrying a cat named bubbles, a rad barn with hops and so much more......
