Claude Monet knew how to create a garden as well as he knew how to paint. It was his garden and water-lily pond in Giverny, France where he created so many of his famous works. The pond is large enough to boat across, but not so large  you can’t walk around it. It’s quite beautiful and very relaxing. 

It was a year ago that my family and I were completing our trip to Europe. Thinking back on that great adventure brings back so many wonderful memories and I’m so appreciative to have the photos to help keep those memories alive.
