Thank you in advance for all your faves and comments. I might answer several days later. And I might post other photos in the meantime.
Merci d'avance pour tous vos faves et commentaires. J'y répondrai peut-être plusieurs jours après. Et je posterai peut-être d'autres photos entre temps.
France. Alpes. Savoie. Haute Tarentaise. Massif de la Vanoise. Photo prise lors d'un aller-retour au Col de la Sachette, au départ de la petite Station de Tignes Les Boisses, via les vallons de la Sache et de la Sachette. Nous avons effectué cette rando à 2 avec notre ami de Haute Tarentaise.
Photo prise dans le Vallon de la Sachette, dans la montée au Col de la Sachette, en me retournant face à la profonde vallée de la Haute Tarentaise creusée par l'Isère.
Sur cette portion du Vallon de la Sachette, j'étais subjugué par ce décor luxuriant et je n'arrêtais pas de me retourner pour le prendre en photo, en pensant notamment à ma femme qui adore voir serpenter les ruisseaux en montagne. En plus du ruisseau et de la riche végétation, ce qui rendait ce décor si photogénique c'était aussi ces rochers que l'on voit au fond au centre (les Rochers de la Grande Parei). Et puis aussi le vide que l'on devine derrière et qui n'est autre que le lit de l'Isère. D'ailleurs, sans grande surprise le Ruisseau de la Sachette continue ensuite son court chemin jusqu'à se jeter dans l'Isère, au niveau de la Station des Brévières.
Petite anecdote : "Parei", ça se prononce "Pareille". Ça me faisait bizarre à chaque fois que mon ami le prononçait. 😉
To be overcome by the fragrance of flowers, is a delectable form of defeat.

For me this is especially true when it comes to lavender, one of my favorite aromatherapies from nature. =-)
Yes, I know I'm rushing the season a bit, but when it comes to preparing special gifts for the holidays, it's important to not wait until the last minute! This sachet is filled with balsam! I loved finally using some of my woolen stash from a favorite shop in Maine where I purchased the fabric many years ago!
Did I also mention I was reminded that tomorrow is Tree-Mendous Tuesday! So, HTT everyone!
Here is another source of water that many in Buduburam drink. There are 20 pint-sized bags of water inside these larger sacks and people buy them for pennies and then bite off one corner and drink. The bags usually end up on the ground, since "don't litter" is an alien concept in West Africa. The camp is an odd combination of resourcefulness - they built houses essentially from mud - and incredibly poor ideas - like peeing three feet from your front door. But that's what happens when there is nowhere else to do it.
Another tutorial! :)

~~~Lavender Sachets make wonderful Bridal Shower Favors as well! I can create your sachets to match any wedding color palette. ~~~
They also make unique additions to gifts, or pamper yourself with their aromatherapy qualities.
Lavender acts as a natural insect and moth repellent, so make sure to place them on your window sill and hang in your closets!
