One last shot from the Lavender Festival, an old piece of farm equipment, forming an artistic still life out in the lavender fields. Working on this image, I can almost feel the warm breeze, wafting the sweet purple fragrance over the fields. 7/7/21 www.sparhawkphotography.com
Among the many things to see and shoot at the Lavender Festival, was this real jungle of a cactus garden, not to mention the remains of an old wagon. There were several types of cactus in this garden--past blooming, but full of shapes and textures. 7/2/21 www.sparhawkphotography.com
When at the Lavender Festival in Cherry Valley, CA, it was fun finding old pieces of farm equipment out in the fields. This was one. I don't know the name of this piece of machinery (maybe some Smugger will know), but I'm assuming it was used at some point in doing farm chores. I liked the contrast between the hard metal and the soft lavender flowers, with the row of olive trees in the background. 6/27/21 www.sparhawkphotography.com
