Provencal Countryside

We would take off early in the mornings and drive through the countryside - these tree lined roads were so gorgeous!

There were orchards, vineyards, olive groves, and flowers everywhere.

The fields of poppies were amazing -

and there were all kinds of other wild flowers everywhere -

Then there were surprises like this in the village of Rousillion - ochre mountains

If it had been August these lavendar fields would have been dark purple.

Like I said - you had to be there - these pictures don't begin to show how breathtaking it was.
