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)
A peek at Claude Monet’s garden and the quaint little green bridge over the water lily pond.

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)
Visite de la Fondation Claude Monet

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.
"All of a sudden I had the revelation of how enchanting my pond was."
Claude Monet
I've viewed very few ponds with lily pads floating on blue water, so I was already smitten when I came upon this scene. I knew I should have at least one image to remember this moment. It wasn't until later that I realized a second and third look was worth it. I'm still looking for that third critter.
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!

“Colour is my daylong obsession, joy, and torment”. – Claude Monet.
The theme for “Smile on Saturday” for the 15th of June is “bridge or viaduct”. My first thought was to photograph the bridge on one of my Blue Willow Pattern plates, but that would not be accepted, because the theme is about real bridges or viaducts, so drawings of bridges aren’t allowed, pictures of model bridges and viaducts, such as model railways, are not allowed either, and self-created bridges in a tabletop picture aren't allowed either. However, I do enjoy a good challenge, and even though I can’t use the bridge on the Blue Willow Pattern for my submission for this week’s theme, it did inspire me to choose the image that I have chosen to submit. I decided to look through my archives going back to a hot summer day a few years ago when I visited the Blue Lotus Water Gardens in Yarra Junction, where there were any number of beautiful red painted oriental bridges over ponds of water lilies and lotus blossoms, inspired by Monet’s garden in Giverny. I hope you like my choice for the theme, and that it makes you smile.
Spanning over 14 acres (50,000 square meters) in size, The Blue Lotus Water Gardens in Yarra Junction, east of Melbourne, features tropical-themed gardens containing more than forty different ponds, lakes and water features which produce the biggest display of lotus and waterlily flowers in the southern hemisphere. The grounds also contain an amazing array of exotic plants, garden exhibits, fountains, waterfalls, floral sculptures, walks and scenic vistas.
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.
Well to me it does a bit. Lockdown boredom - been going through my archives and found this shot taken at Kenfig Pool Nature Reserve a few years ago. Trying something a bit different!
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.
