More good news on the fire front: most of the ancient redwoods along the Redwood Trail at Big Basin State Park have survived the fire. Some of these trees are more than 2000 years old.

La maison de Claude Monet

fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fondation_Claude_Monet
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fondation_Monet_in_Giverny
Façade de la maison de Claude Monet, acquise par lui en 1883 Cette maison a été léguée à l'Académie des beaux-arts (Institut de France) par Michel Monet, fils de l'artiste, et disparu en 1966.
C'est Gérald Van der Kemp qui, avec son épouse Florence et le soutien d'importants mécènes américains et français, a commencé à restaurer la maison en 1997, avant l'ouverture au public.
Des reproductions d'œuvres d'art et d'estampes japonaises qui appartenaient à Claude Monet ont été replacées aux murs dans le respect des places que l'artiste avait choisies pour elles.
Amateur d'art japonais et de jardins, le peintre impressionniste Claude Monet a étendu le terrain de sa maison de Giverny en 1893 pour y créer un jardin d'eau, planté de nombreux végétaux dont des nénuphars. Il y a fait construire un pont japonais qu'il a fait peindre en vert pour se démarquer de la tradition des jardins japonais.
Ce jardin d'eau a été pour lui une importante source d'inspiration, il est à l'origine de la série de ses tableaux Nymphéas, donnés par le peintre à la France en 1918 comme symbole de la paix. Ils sont exposés dès 1927 au musée de l'Orangerie à Paris.
Ce musée a été créé par l'État français, sous l'impulsion de Georges Clémenceau, grand ami de Claude Monet. www.musee-orangerie.fr/fr/article/lensemble-de-lorangerie La Maison sur le site de la Fondation Monet fondation-monet.com/giverny/la-maison-de-monet/ Photo Annie Dalbéra

Waterlily ponds and the Japanese bridge are frequently featured in Monet's paitntings from the garden at Giverny.
Monet’s Garden, Giverney, France
We visited here on Saturday 19th August, 2017. If one can’t get inspiration here, then you’re lost. There were so many people I couldn’t get the long iconic views without people so I concentrated on the close-ups. Shame about the bridge, c’est la vie.
Here are a few the first of a few postings.
The artist Claude Monet's famous bridge from paintings shot inside his gardens with the Olympus E-M1 and Olympus 12-40mm f2.8 lens.

The water lily pond at Monet's Garden, Giverny. The first stop on our wonderful sojourn in France.
Happy Fence Friday, although this is really a bridge not a fence. A good weekend to all.
Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all. We are back home, and I will try to catch up with everyone as I also catch up on much needed rest.

No, they are not really different from any other geraniums, but they are in Claude Monet's garden in Giverny, which makes them extra special.
