There's a gorgeous garden near me. A great, circular thing in the middle of a field, with a trellis that outlines the edge. It's built on a platform with huge stones lining the outer raised edge, and circling the garden is a labyrinth built out of lavender. It's stunning when you're in it and an aerial view is even more incredible.
In this garden are herbs, wildflowers, cultivated flowers. The herbs are used in foods produced and sold onsite. The harvested lavender can be bought by the bag.
I love to watch this garden make its transformations throughout the seasons. The activity--both the garden's tenders and the bees and insects that feed off of it--both inspires and amazes me.
For this image I became a part of the shadows of the trellis, stretching over the lavender in the late evening light. The light is long right now as we've just passed the summer solstice. I love these long days when it feels like there is plenty of time for everything.
