The Lavender Festival in Hood River was a delightful experience. The weather was beautiful. A bit too warm for me, but hey, I will take it.

The lavender fields were gorgeous as you can see from the photos.

Much to my surprise and dismay, and unknown to me until today it "appears" I am allergic to lavender... Hand lotion used, lavender lemonade (which was delicious) and the fields were a bit too much .... My eyes are watering and tired as well as a sniff-ling nose.

Enjoy the photos........allergy free.
