The Hazelnut Orchard

Oh, for a book and a blanket!

I'd sit on the soft moss and read all day.

"Are you coming?"

Such a good dog.

Miniature forests of moss.

A fairytale place.

Magical!

oh my word...
breathtaking.

I could see maidens beautifully dressed and their courts parading down the lanes.
I could see this mama with a picnic blanket and children playing among the rows.
ahhhhhhhhh....

OH my goodness... I would love to see this and the tulips. I am putting it on my list to do in the next couple of years!

Thank you for sharing. I needed something to take my breath away today!

Well, that's it. I need an orchard now. And maybe some faeries to tend it.

I bet this scene would look wonderful with autumn leaves on the trees, too!

thank you for sharing such lovely photos. looks like such a dream!

Have you ever read the Story Girl books by Lucy Maud Montgomery (same author as of Anne of Green Gables)? Something about these orchard pictures just put me into memories of those books. Lovely photos!

Posted by: Emily | April 13, 2010 at 10:08 AM

Somebody needs to have a wedding here. I'd volunteer but I'm already married and on the East coast...

Posted by: Abbey Rice | April 13, 2010 at 10:09 AM

you big luckies! I want to lay down a blanket and have a picnic (along with my book). a fairy tale place indeed, so charming!

Love the photo of Miss Pinky Toes looking back at you!

It's a dream.
A dream-like setting to stir [if not shake] one's imagination.
Thanks for giving us something wonderful to carry in our thoughts today.
p.s. call me when those nuts begin to fall.
Hugs,
Gerry

I want to read a novel with that title... "Hazelnut Orchard." It could be a quilt, or a poem, even a cake. And together with your pictures the inspiration is wide open.

Posted by: Natalie VV | April 13, 2010 at 10:21 AM

What a beautiful place. I can imagine a young Anne Shirley skipping down that avenue of trees.
Definitely a ripe spot for daydreaming.

Posted by: jill | April 13, 2010 at 10:30 AM

I SO want to go and experience this in my lifetime. VT has it's own beauty, but I've never encountered anything like that! It does look to be very fairytale-like. And I totally agree Abbey.. a wedding! With Jessica Claire photographing. Divine! LOL!
