Snowstorm in June



Our few lavender bushes are just about ready for harvesting and this is the year I'm going to actually get to it before it's too late. Even though I have no idea what I'm doing.

I never tire of this view, or any view around here, for that matter.
I love the pretty shade of pink the viburnum flowers become before they quickly fade away. 
And I really love getting caught in a viburnum snowstorm in June. I guess that's why they call it a snowball bush.
I found this rock in the garden. I tried to capture the purple and pink colours in it but I wasn't successful. Brother Eli, however, was rather successful in his attempt to photo bomb my pic. He doesn't miss a trick at casa Rural Revival, or a photo op.

It's your last day to enter the Novica giveaway(s). You can get in on the action here.

Happy Friday Friends!

    Beautiful photos! What a view...it is breathtaking!
    I took a photo and posted awhile back of my snowball bush once it had created its snowstorm...we'd had a windy day and it happened all at once and the ground DID look just like a carpet of snow! :)

    Andrea that is a view a person could get lost in. It would take your head away to all things beautiful. In other words the best view in the world. Enjoy it my friend. Your flowers are beautiful and love the rock. Hug B

    Oh, I know what it's like to have almost every image photo-bombed. Thank goodness for cropping!

    My viburnum is just about done. I have so enjoyed capturing photos of it this year.

    Loving that rock. We have so few here in Nebraska -- I'm jealous! xo

    What a great post - full of visual wonder.

    I wouldn't know what to do with lavender . . but, it might be fun to start.

    Happy Friday!

    The lavender photo is wonderful and your view is fabulous. Your title really got my attention - I actually sometimes DO get snow in June at high altitude!

    Lol, my family loves to photo bomb, especially when I'm taking serious shots for my stock agencies. I hope you get a lovely harvest of lavender from your plants. I'm waiting for mine to bloom as well. Soon I hope. Have a lovely weekend. :)

    I visited a friend the other day and saw a true, exceptional, authentic June snowfall . . . A couple of the "snowballs" came home with me and it "snowed" right here on the floor of my lving room! . . . (worth it though, aren't they!)

    I love lavender but I have never grown any. What a beautiful view you have. I'd just stand and enjoy it all day long.
