Arrivare a Giverny è molto semplice ; si trova a tre quarti d'ora di treno da Parigi, partenza da Gare Saint Lazare, si prende il treno per Dieppe e si scende a Vernon che dista 4 km da Giverny ; qui si trova un buon servizio navetta con cui si può raggiungere il ridente paesino dove visse in una grande casa rosa dalle persiane verdi circondata dal magnifico giardino Claude Monet .
Con 700.000 visitatori all’anno, la Fondazione Monet è tra le maggiori mete turistiche di Francia ed una meta assolutamente da visitare una volta nella vita per provare un profondo senso di libertà, annusando fragranze mutevoli ed ammirando la bellezza di colori a volte cupi e sbiaditi, altre volte saturi e brillanti, a seconda dell’umore del tempo e delle stagioni.
E’ un ottimo modo per entrare in sintonia con la natura.
Noi siamo arrivati a Giverny di primo mattino sperando di evitare il grande afflusso dei visitatori che giornalmente si recano in questo luogo magico ; purtroppo , alla biglietteria , abbiamo dovuto affrontare ugualmente una lunga attesa prima di accedere ai giardini e quando finalmente siamo entrati erano già invasi dai turisti .
Aveva smesso di piovere da poche ore; nonostante il cielo grigio , frequente in Normandia , i fiori zuppi per la recente pioggia spiccavano con i propri colori vivaci nel verde splendente creando magnifici riflessi nello stagno.

This encounter with a blooming plant made me especially happy. When walking back to my parked vehicle, I spied a burst of yellow out of the corner of my eye. Fortunately I'd been taking pictures earlier in the day and had my macro lens with me. I sprinted to my car to retrieve my macro lens and spent many happy minutes taking in the thin filaments of white with their yellow anthers. As Henri Matisse said, "There are always flowers for those who want to see them."
I'm thinking once I learn to grow right where I'm planted,
Maybe that's when life starts getting good...

Pitcher plants are several different carnivorous plants which have modified leaves known as pitfall traps—a prey-trapping mechanism featuring a deep cavity filled with digestive liquid. The traps of what are considered to be "true" pitcher plants are formed by specialized leaves. The plants attract and drown their prey with nectar.
Bakreswar Thermal Power Project, under The West Bengal Power Development Corporation Limited, is one of the most reliable and prestigious coal-fired power plants in West Bengal and in India as well. In two stages the total capacity of the plant is (03 X 210)MW. Funded by the Overseas Economic Co-Operation Fund(OECF) of Japan Govt. — subsequently costituted as Japan Bank for Internattional Co-operation (JBIC).
Our local war memorial, a day after the hail storm. Somebody had taken a planter, filled it with soil and stuck a couple of British Legion wooden poppy crosses in. Now covered in water. When you plant something, then I would think with the expectation of growth. I wonder what the expectation was - the death of millions as the seeds of peace? No more war?

Otherwise known as false dragonhead, this pretty flower lasts nearly to the end of the growing season which makes me very happy.
Thank you for your views and comments, they're very much appreciated. Have a great day!

Except it's not. Just another shot of the old power plant that's been turned into a little village inside the city of Austin. As you can tell, I'm really taken by it. If I still lived in Austin, I would want to live here.
The Seaholm Power Plant was commissioned in 1948 to meet Austin's growing demand for electric power. The engineering firm Burns & McDonnell designed the complex, which was constructed in two phases in 1951 and 1955. The facility originally included a Turbine Generator Building, a Water Intake Structure and an Oil Heating Building. A guard booth and a storage building were added to the site later. Originally called "Power Plant No. 2," on 2 June 1960 the plant was renamed posthumously for Walter E. Seaholm, a prominent figure in the administration of Austin’s municipal utilities.[2]
Seaholm served as Austin’s sole source of electric power from 1950 to 1959, until demand outpaced the 120 megawatts the plant could generate with all five boilers running. As other stations were built the city's reliance on Seaholm waned, and in 1989 the plant stopped providing power to the city, though it was used as a training facility until 1996, when it closed entirely.[3]
Redevelopment[edit]
The site lay dormant until 2004, when the Austin city council requested proposals for redevelopment partners. Several firms and consultancies formed an organization called "Seaholm Power, LLC" which was designated in April 2005 to lead redevelopment of the defunct power plant and the surrounding site.[4] A master development agreement was reached with the city in April 2008 specifying the renovations and new construction that would be undertaken.[5]
Work began on the plant's redevelopment in mid-2013.[6] The interior of the turbine generator building was converted to a mixture of office, retail and restaurant space, with tenants occupying the facility beginning in 2015.[7] A residential tower called Seaholm Residences was constructed at the west end of the site, also opening in 2015. As of 2018, the city has not selected a final plan for the redevelopment of the water intake facility.[8]
