Fields of Flowers

The beauty surrounding us in CT is staggering. There is so much visual eye candy and the different areas to explore seems endless. We usually begin our summer mornings with a leisurely walk on the beach and then a swim in the Long Island Sound. After that we don't know where the day will take us. We relish in being unscheduled and unplanned, which is how we ended up at Scott's Flower Farm recently. We took a detour home after having lunch in Essex and stumbled upon fields of flowers right off the side of the country road.

There were rows and rows of vibrant annuals - all for the cutting. We were handed a large basket and two pairs of shears. I was in flower heaven...

The sky got very moody which created dramatic panoramic views across the fields of flowers.

We walked up and down the farm happily filling our basket to the brim...
