Who knew there were lavender fields on Long Island? But I guess if the North Fork is wine country it makes sense. This is my first time on a lavender field and the smell is intoxicating! The minute we stepped out of the car the fragrance enveloped us and the girls were both in flower heaven. After a summer of “don’t pick those flowers!” whenever we are in the city, they can finally pick all the flowers they want. Highly recommended if you’re out in the North Fork. I don’t know how crowded it gets, but we went on a weekday and had the field all to ourselves.
i know i’ve probably commented this before but your your photography is beautiful and so are you and your daughters.
what sweet memories you’re making. vacation memories are some of my fondest. glad your enjoying your well-deserved getaway.
Absolutely stunning!
How pretty!
So beautiful! I imagine that you and the girls picked up a lot of lavender flowers to produce/cook the Honey Lavender Cookies! Hummm….
I know you mentioned before that you don’t think the girls look like you, but little Claudine does in that photo.
These photos are beautiful! What a lovely way to spend a morning or afternoon.
so THAT´S where claudine gets her perfect little mouth. how lucky you both are.
i became entranced by this blog a couple of months ago. nothing better than photos that make normal life look so beautiful and something to tease my sweet tooth.
i love lavender and i can almost smell it right now!
gasp! I love lavender! My nostrils are drying to sniff those fields!
[and what lovely photos!]
Wow!! I wish we had made it to a lavender field this summer; the boys vetoed whenever I suggested it. Nice to see you too – a rare appearance 🙂
idyllic! c looks like you…
we have lots of lavender here too in norfolk, england. i grow a lot in the garden which i always cut and dry…but seeing it in abundance in a field is always something special. beautiful photos as ever! (you and claudine are doubles!) x
these photos are stunning! you could blow that one up where the girls are walking with their backs to us and throw it over a sofa, it’s that lovely!
Stunning photos – what wonderful summer memories you’ll have for years and years and years.
Everything looks wonderful! Can you tell us where on the North Fork this was? Also which farm did you go to for peach picking? I’d love to take my kids!
these photos are so sweet and beautiful…all frame worthy!
positively heavenly!
wow, these are just beautiful beaufiul photos! it looks so magical!
A special treat to see the picture of you and Claudine today. No reason to be shy in front of the camera … both of you look simply stunning.
Annie, the lavender field is called “Lavender by the bay” and it is right outside Greenport on the North Fork on the way towards orient Point. We went peach picking at Wickham’s Farm because it was literally a 5 minute drive from where we were, but there were a few places to pick along there.
wow! your pictures are amazing, as usual. truly inspiring.
