Giverny

The home of Monet, his flowers and Impressionism. The flowers were out, the sun was shining and all was peaceful in Monet's garden and pond.


Consulting the Rick Steves (yeah, I'm a Rick fan) at the "blueberry car" before entering the gardens.












The pond....




The willows.....








Marlene told me that the mix of flowers and colors, instead of the order of one color/flower, is what is the crux of the beauty of the gardens and ultimately the idea of Impressionism.
