There are many beautiful gardens in France, but Monet's Garden in Giverny is certainly one of the very best. Unfortunately, on the day I was there it was raining and I was trying to hold an umbrella in one hand and the camera in the other. To my surprise when I started to finally edit the images I took there, I found that most of the images were very good. The rainy weather gave me saturated colors. No blue sky; so I focused on the flowers and designs and learned a very important photography lesson. Use the light you have and compose your image based on the light. (edited in Lightroom and Topaz)

An incredible display of Tulips at Monet's Garden located in Giverny, France. It was raining when I took this picture; so I was low to the ground with an umbrella in one hand and trying to hold my camera steady with the other. Due to the rain and an overcast sky, the colors are saturated by nature. (Edited in Lightroom and Topaz)
It is difficult to resist to play with pictures on Water lilies after a car trip to Lilies lake.
Thank you dear Flickr friends for all kind visit, comment and fav .

Les jardins de Monet sont divisés en deux parties, un jardin de fleurs devant la maison, qu'on appelle le Clos Normand, et un jardin d'eau d'inspiration japonaise de l'autre côté de la route. Les deux parties du jardin de Monet s'opposent et se complètent.
LE CLOS NORMAND
Quand Monet et sa famille s'installent à Giverny en 1883, le terrain qui descend de la maison jusqu'à la route est planté d'un verger et entouré de hauts murs de pierre.
Une allée centrale ombragée par des sapins le traverse.
Monet fera abattre les pins, ne conservant que les deux ifs les plus près de la maison, à la demande d'Alice.
Ce Clos Normand d'environ un hectare, Monet le transforme en un jardin riche en perspectives, en symétries et en couleurs.
Le terrain se découpe en plates-bandes où les massifs de fleurs de différentes hauteurs créent les volumes. Les arbres fruitiers ou d'ornement dominent les rosiers grimpants, les tiges élancées des roses trémières et les masses colorées des annuelles. Monet mêle les fleurs les plus simples (pâquerettes et coquelicots) aux variétés les plus recherchées.
L'allée centrale se couvre d'arceaux sur lesquels poussent des rosiers grimpants. En écho, d'autres rosiers couvrent les balustrades qui longent la maison. A la fin de l'été des capucines envahissent le sol de l'allée centrale.
Claude Monet n'aime pas les jardins organisés ou contraints. Il allie les fleurs en fonction de leurs couleurs et les laisse pousser assez librement.
Au fil des années, il se passionne pour la botanique, il échange des plants avec ses amis Clémenceau ou Caillebotte. Toujours à l'affût de variétés rares, il fait venir à grand frais des bulbes ou des jeunes pousses. "Tout mon argent passe dans mon jardin" confie-t-il. Mais aussi : "je suis dans le ravissement."
LE JARDIN D'EAU (cf. mes 4 photos !)
En 1893, dix ans après son arrivée à Giverny, Monet achète le terrain qui voisine sa propriété de l'autre côté de la voie de chemin de fer. Il est traversé par un petit cours d'eau, le Ru, une dérivation de l'Epte. Malgré l'opposition des voisins paysans qui craignent qu'il empoisonne l'eau en y plantant des végétaux bizarres, mais avec le soutien de la Préfecture, Monet y fait creuser un premier petit bassin.
Dans une lettre au préfet de l'Eure, il déclare : "Il ne s'agit là que d'une chose d'agrément et pour le plaisir des yeux, et aussi d'un but de motif à peindre ; je ne cultive dans ce bassin que des plantes telles que nénuphars, roseaux, iris de différentes variétés qui croissent généralement à l'état spontané le long de notre rivière, et il ne peut être question d'empoisonnement de l'eau."
Par la suite le bassin sera agrandi pour atteindre ses proportions d'aujourd'hui. Le jardin d'eau tout en asymétrie et en courbes, s'inspire des jardins japonais que Monet connaît par les estampes dont il est un fervent collectionneur. On trouve dans ce jardin d'eau le fameux pont japonais couvert de glycines, d'autres ponts plus petits, des saules pleureurs, une forêt de bambous, et surtout les fameux nympheas qui fleurissent pendant tout l'été. Le bassin et la végétation qui l'entoure forment un monde clos, indépendants de la campagne alentours.
Jamais encore un peintre n'avait à ce point façonné son motif dans la nature avant de le peindre, créant son oeuvre deux fois. Monet y puise son inspiration pendant plus de vingt ans. Après la série des ponts japonais il se consacre à celle des nympheas, jusqu'aux gigantesques décorations de l'Orangerie.
Toujours à la recherche de brumes et de transparences, Monet s'attache de plus en plus aux reflets dans l'eau, une sorte de monde inversé transfiguré par l'élément liquide.
This was taken at the Immersive Monet Exhibition in Toronto, similar to the Van Gogh exhibition held last year.

Finally there is some good news on the wildfire front here in Northern California. There were no lightning strikes over the weekend and the fire containment numbers have started to go up. And the fires in Sonoma County appear to have missed most of the Armstrong State Redwood Reserve, which is one of our favorite places to wander among the redwoods.
Hope you have a good week. Take care and stay safe. Thanks for stopping by and for all of your support -- I deeply appreciate it.

Claude Monet lived at Giverny for forty-three years, from 1883 to his death in 1926. In 1893 he acquired a piece of land where he recreated this water garden which he knew from Japanese prints. The water lilies he planted in the pond would in turn inspire him to his greatest creations in the last decades of his life, les Nymphéas.

Soulis: Irises in Monet's Garden 2, Giverny, France.
This is one of the images in my little "Irises in Monet's Garden" series. I was elated to be in the garden of the famous French impressionist painter, Claude Monet. Here is his first impressionistic painting, which actually established the term "Impressionism": Impression, soleil levant (Impression, Sunrise) (1872).
Thank you!

Many Thanks for your Visit...all Comments and Faves...
Taken at Bodenham Arboretum, my version of Monet's famous bridge.
Effect's by William Walton & Topaz Studio 2.
When I saw this little fledgling sat in a nearby tree, my thoughts were not to try and copy the great Impressionist painter.
Naturally I was concentrating on getting the bird in focus, the result though however fortunate was very pleasing indeed.

As always I extend my sincere appreciation to all those who take the time to stop by and comment on my photos.

Good Morning, sorry I've not been around much this past week, life can get busy and I've not had a minute to go through new images I've taken, upload and/or catch up with your work.
On Tuesday I had a mountain bike accident, not terrible but I was quite hurt. All good now I've been out biking again.
On Wednesday a lady crashed her car outside my neighbours and our house at a million miles an hour, in a 30mph zone, taking down a huge cable pole, all the cables and a concrete light. After calling emergency services and waiting 40 minutes!! Myself, hubby and neighbours had to shut the road ourselves and redirect traffic as overhead cables were everywhere. We then had to wait for our electric and WiFi to be fixed during the night.
Thursday and Friday I had a few days out with hubby, going for lunch and shopping.
This weekend we went Paddle boarding and Bike Riding, so today is my first chance to sit down and say 'hello'
I took this image last Thursday, I was sitting by a beautiful pond watching Dragonflies and Butterflies, it was quite tranquil after the previous two days.
Have a great day. I will endeavour to catch up as much as I can.

Claude Monet lived for forty-three years, from 1883 to 1926, in his house in Giverny. With a passion for gardening as well as for colours, he conceived both his flower garden and water garden as true works of art. Walking through his house and gardens, visitors can still feel the atmosphere which reigned at the home of the Master of Impressionnism and marvel at the floral compositions and nymphéas, his greatest sources of inspiration.
