It seems that I haven't been blogging for long... it's a busy summer... back to my full-time job, finishing my last course of the certificate program in photography & busy having fun with my monkies. But so you know... I have created another blog for wedding related stuff, which is called Wedding Photography by Gigi
You will find a few posts up during this season of love.
Talking about love... umm... romance... How about a field of purple lavender?
I always want to visit one... but the one close by is still far... how far? 6 hours of driving all the way to Quebec. With the 3 monkies? huh... don't even think about it...
Recently, we were introduced to the Terre Bleu farm. Where is it? Just in Milton, Ontario, which is only 15-20 min away from our place. Sweet...
Last week, we visited the Terre Bleu Lavendar Farm.
Here is the stunning look of the field. Lots of busy bees working around.
Staff were very friendly and proactively offered us guided tour. Ian explained to us that there are actually 250 kinds of lavenders (wow!) and they planted 6 in considering the super chilly winter here. They've harvested most of the them and the one we see above is called Grosso.
Other than the staff, mosquitoes did welcome us with their "hugs & kisses". My Little Monkie #1 was a bit upset at the beginning 'coz of the mosquitoes & bees (he got "kissed" before). I thought lavender is one of the natural anti-mosquito repellents. Ian said it is... however, we're in a open field and there are so many different factors involved.
Okey... So when we're in the nature, so be part of the nature and enjoy. See my Little Monkie #2's happy face :)

Other than the lavendars, they also have a distillery with a huge steamer imported from Portugal to make essence oil. They also keep some hives on the other side of the field. There are lots of lavendars products and they make them out of these. There is a small store at the entrance and ladies, you will love this place.
They also keep 2 horses there. Unfortunately, we didn't have a chance to meet them. It's okay... next time :) This is their first year of opening to the public and I'm sure there are many chances for me to visit. This is such a beautiful place. And you know what... they're open for photo shootings and weddings. If you're interested in having me capturing the timeless moments for you, flip me a message/email.
I got mine - my Little Monkie #3.
