That's My World is hosted each week by Klaus, Sandy, Ivar, Wren, Fishing Guy and Louise. Click here to sign up and join the fun and share your world with us!A month or so ago I wrote about the Lavender Festival that's held in Sequim, Washington every year and I posted pictures supplied by Google. I mentioned at the time that I would be making a trip to the festival this year and yesterday I spent the day there with good friends from Portland. It was such a lovely trip and a gorgeous day and I did get lots of photos of my own and I want to share those with you today.
We passed another ferry on our way across the Sound to the area where Sequim is located. It's about a two hour trip from my house to Sequim with a twenty minute ferry ride.
The next three shots were taken at a couple of different farms. There is community location near downtown Sequim where you can see lots of products produced in the area by local artists, there are great stands where you can choose from a huge variety of delicious, delectable foods. And from there you can take a bus to the various farms -- we visited five.
The colors are exquisite, the sweet, heady fragrance permeates the air. The sun was warm, the breeze cool!
At the last farm, they had these llamas and they were friendly buggers!
Sunset on the Sound as we returned to the mainland at the end of a gorgeous, breathtaking and fun day! Definitely an early birthday present for me from my wonderful friends, James and Chiaki! Thank you, my friends! You're the best!

Unique festival!
The only sorrow is I can't smell the shots.
The lavender festival photos are beautiful. The scent must have been great, too.
Cute llamas, and a beautiful sunset to finish the day in style.
My wife would love this.
Great pictures!
I am so jealous. I love lavender and have a few plants at my house but being able to see fields of it like that is my idea of heaven. Also like the water and sky shots.
Lavender fields and llamas! It doesn't get much better than that. What a fun tour! :)
Beautiful tour. Love flowers.
Oh I love lavender It looks so beautiful in these fields
We've got it in the garden and I like the smell Great festival
I blog here.
The sunset is just as colorful as the lavender. It must have been aromatic all over the place.
Oh how delightful! I have been to a small lavender festival in Sonoma valley and the scent is amazing isn't it?
I'm so glad you got there - it looks both fun and interesting to attend.
I have lavender planted in my yard, and it seems to attract a fair number of pollinators. It's also fairly hardy and resilient - requirements for all plants at Wrenaissance.
That looks like a fantastic day. I love the smell of lavender, mmm...
Oh, I'm soooooooooooooo jealous. The other year Jack and I went to a lavender festival up in Pennsylvania. The beautiful flowers and the wonderful smells were great and your photos bring it all back to me. Thanks for posting and sharing. Great job.
Awesome day. Lavender festival is definitely something I would attend.
Wonderful! I have been enjoying the lavender in my own graden, and the bumble bees love it.
There is nothing quite like coming back across the sound at sunset. What a perfect ending!
Wow! My mother would have loved a walk with those lavenders! Beautiful!
I love lavender. My cure all from cold sores, to cooking burns, to headaches and sleepless nights. I will be needing a few relaxing lavender baths this week. The colours sublime if only I had smellivision.
What a day to spend a pre-birthday celebration. Love the Lavender farm and the llamas, ain't they cute too?
Wish you many Happy Returns of the Day Sylvia!

That was a beautiful journey with many of your beautiful pictures. Thank you for sharing. I really love the lavender scenes. Have a great week!
I can smell the lavender!
Wonderful photos, Sylvia. The sunset is beautiful. I can almost smell that lavender from your photos. I heard them talking about it on the news earlier this evening (it was prerecorded from last Friday) and I wondered how it went. Thanks for filling me in!
Sylvia these are beautiful photos and I can almost smell the gentle fragrance of the lavender. I have never seen it in the field. Looks like it was a wonderful way to spend a beautiful day.
Blessings and smiles
Beautiful shots of the festival! That is beautiful country you have in your world.
Wow, that's a lot of lavender! The color and smell must have been a sensory delight. When can we get cybersmell? I always liked riding the ferries. A great place for a golden sunset. Great captures Sylvia.
gorgeous images!!
To see these fields life must be breathtaking !!
Oh, what a fragrant festival! I'd love to go to one of those.
The fields of lavender look lovely.
I love the lavender field! The first shot of it looks like England. We have lavender here only from imported shops, and very expensive.
A wonderful day indeed Sylvia, I am so glad you are truly finding your own feet and enjoyinglife. Your surrondings and photos are just lovely. Seattle must be a wonderful place to live with the mild climate and the accessibility of so much beauty in your vicinity. In comparison we live in a desert here and beauty spots are far away.
I love the way they have alternated the rows of English Lavender with the pink veriety which does not produce as aromatic an oil but does look so pretty.
sounds wonderful - great pictures.
What a beautiful post, Sylvia. I could almost smell the lavender and your sunset shot is exquisite. (((Hugs))) Jo
Sylvia: Neat series of photos from your area. That was a neat mixture of shots.
What a stunning set of photographs. I can smell the lavender I'm sure. Thank you for sharing your world with the rest of us.
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. Brings back special memories. We were there several years ago with the grandson. So much fun. I can't get enough lavender! Thanks!
Pretty lavenders! Always love them and your captures are really good!
My World is here
I wish I could drape myself with all of that... the blossoms, the sunset, minus the llamas, thank you!
