Jeanne in Monet's Garden



It seems that all of the paintings of the famous gardens in Giverney were created in the spring or early summer. Hues of pink, pale blue and lavender practically jump off the canvas and entice us to visit this lovely garden.




So it was quite a treat to see Giverny in late summer, when autumn hues of red, yellow and orange begin to overtake nature's palette. The number of tourists drops off and ther gardens are quite serene.

And every now and then, you run across a bit of landscape that looks like it has been undisturbed since the garden's creation at the end of thre 19th century!
