The island of Hvar is best known these days as Croatia’s most stylish destination to dock your yacht. A little further from the restaurants and shops that line the harbor, however, can be found fields of lavender. In fact, Hvar is often referred to as the “island of lavender” and the annual lavender festival just so happened to coincide with the weekend of our visit.
Was the fragrane of the flowers just too wonderful to describe? I can’t imagine how delightful this must have been. Beautiful photo with the sun in the background……too perfect!
Hey Mom,
Yes, it was quite pleasant to be there and there was the smell of lavender in the air when standing in the field, but nothing like the sacks of dried lavender that they were selling at the festival. We got to the fields just in time to catch a little bit of that sun before it dipped beyond the horizon.

Gorgeous, Sean!
I have to say it is pretty but leave it to the Crane women to love your flower shots. I am a Crane that hopes you found an animal in Croatia!
Unfortunately Mo, no animals on this trip, save for a few pigeons and stray cats. But I promise to get back to my animal postings, probably tomorrow.
Stunning!!
Again. So beautiful! I want to sleep in there!
Just gorgeous.
Just beautiful!
You can almost smell it!!! So beautiful!!!
