Subject: Lavender Festival
Last Friday I went to a lavender festival. It was held at someone's farm, just west of Portland, Oregon. That day it was warm with lots of sunshine.
Photo No. 1 - When I first arrived there from the parking lot I saw these lavender flowers.

I hope you like these. I did take more pictures at the festival where they sold some food, but mostly the photos were views of the surrounding countryside. It was a little hazy although, with our summer heat.
