Flowers from France

France is not only well known for its delicious wines, it's also known as a country with incredible flowers. We're all familiar with the famous images of lavender and sunflowers fields, so that's why I thought I'd show you some of the other gorgeous flower treasures that can be found. (In the Provence I must say). Know that this is just a small selection. Every visit I'm endlessly strolling through streets, gardens and open spaces, stopping thousand times to smell the flowers and to take photo's of the gorgeous, idyllic sights that hold me captivated. I'm guessing that sounds familiar;)? Looking back to captures from my days spent in the Luberon area last year feels so good, I might show a few more later on this week...

  4. beautiful images! we were just talking tonight about planning a trip to southern france next summer. I have only one child who doesn't want to miss football to go... can you imagine? I can't decide if I should make him go, or get him a babysitter... we don't want him to spoil the trip whining the whole time!
    I long to take photos like these!!!
