Lavender Fields Not as widespread as in Provence, but we have lavender in Vienna as well. And sometimes I think it is impossible to take a picture of lavender at this time of year without a bee in the picture.
After the Storm After about a month of dry weather, we had a storm. Not too bad, just heavy rain for an hour (other parts of Austria were harder hit). I like this flattened rose from our garden, especially with the striations behind.
Castor Direct from our garden. My wife promised that she won't make me drink any of the oil from the seeds (nor any of the ricin from the pods either, thank goodness). I'm assuming that the slimy trails are from slugs.
