For years I have wanted to see Monet’s gardens in Giverny and last week my daughter and I spent 5 days in Paris , making this our first stop . I was so impressed with the gardens and in particular the variety of color schemes that were used throughout the site. So inspiring to see this time of year in particular. I took so many photos I will share some with you here as well.

Just found this blog, Nancy . . . it's never too late! There is so much to see on this site, but it's terrific, n'est ce pas?
I visited Giverney a few years ago, and thought Monet's lake an ideal subject for watercolour (I used to dabble): did you use some of your lovely photos for inspiration?

Sheilabub is right! Its never too late...and Im 3 months behind her lol!
I too enjoyed a visit here but it was the end of June and caught most plants at an "in between" stage, except for bedding plants. So very garish and not too impressive. Most go in late spring next time, much more to my taste in colours. Love your pictures.
