New Preston, Connecticut. We were early for yoga class this morning and next door to the building the class is held in is a small herb garden. Anne rolled her eyes and groaned when I broke out the macro gear to see about a picture of this lavender plant before class started.

I didn’t know lavender was in the mint family. Like mint, rubbing a small one inch head like this between your fingers will scent you for quite some time. The folks doing yoga around me today must have thought I I was into aroma therapy or bathed with lavender scented soap this morning. The scent is now on my camera, tripod, and now, my keyboard and mouse. Beats patchouli oil.
