Honestly I was very unprepared for this hike. But! Nothing bad ended up happening, alhamdulillah. The weather was wild though; within the span of three hours I experienced hail, snow, rain, and sun! The foliage absolutely popped off though, check out the slideshow below.

I also spotted some cool fungi!

But the following are my favourite shots of the day! The texture? The colours? The patterns? ​Absolutely incredibly stunning, subhanAllah.

Terre Bleu, a gorgeous lavender farm you may have seen all over instagram and facebook, was a place my family, friends and I had been wanting to visit for ages. So one weekend, although it kept threatening to rain, we finally made the trip, and had a lovely time.

We first surveilled the decadent fields while sipping lavender lemonade, licking lavender ice cream, and nibbling on lavender flavoured cheese (not pictured). Lavender is a subtle flavour, sort of floral, sort of savoury. 

The fields were alive with the musical hum of hundreds, maybe thousands of busy bees pollinating. It wasn't as frightening as you might think, being surrounded by bees. It was awe inspiring, watching these tiny little critters fly about and nuzzle the flowers, hard at work.

Terre Bleu has their own beehives along with their bees, and we were able to see a queen surrounded by her workers, and the happy, wiggling dance that bees do to communicate to their fellows. 

If you get a chance, do go and visit Terre Bleu!
