| Wild lavender along our path. |

| Gentle violet colours, echoes of the shutters in the villages we have been visiting. |
Even though we are at the height of summer here in the south east of France, there was still a profusion of wildflowers along our hiking path today.

| A little gem surviving the dry, hot summer. |
Fred takes real pleasure in photographing flowers so this was an unexpected treat for him.
What I loved the most was the fragrant wild lavender and thyme - herbes de province waiting for the picking!
The lavender bushes got smaller and smaller as we climbed. Once we crested to the dry plateau, they were miniatures of themselves and certainly look nothing like the cultivated fields of lavender. But their fragrance is heady.
