I’m looking forward to spring this year! It seems to be taking a long time though. For a reminder of what’s coming soon, I have these pictures from Monet’s garden in Giverny, France. There was a lot of green there, not only from the garden but from the farmhouse and the bridge. Have a look.
I’m also looking forward to going back to France later this spring. That means more planning!
Lovely photos! You have me ready……..We shall be leaving for our European tour in two weeks. Our dearest Monet gives us such places of tranquility.
Thanks and I hope you have a wonderful time in Europe! Monet’s garden is a real treasure… :)
always takes my breath away – I feel very lucky to have visited during a couple of different seasons – something wonderful to experience
There’s nothing like seeing this beautiful place! You are really fortunate to have been there at different times of the year :)
Love them all!
Every scene there is exquisite – I agree with you!
I am so jealous (AGAIN). We were unable to see Giverny when we were in Paris/France. I really wish we had gone. Your photos are very pretty!
Thank you and I really hope you have the chance to go there sometime – it’s marvelous!
At first I didn’t notice that you said this was Monet’s garden and I was going to say that looks so Monet! Beautiful.
It really feels as though you have stepped into one of his paintings. Going there is a fantastic experience!
Love your logic, Meg – have fun planning. In the meantime, I agree, why not ponder glorious green dreams :)
Thanks! I can’t wait to go back to France and this garden is one of the reasons why… :)
Especially alluring amidst a lingering winter, I’m sure :)
It would be so interesting to see it during the winter – what a contrast that would provide!
So beautiful
Thank you Sharon!
Lovely! I’ve always wanted to go there – your pictures make me want to go even more!
Thank you for taking the time to look at (and like) my blog. Yours is great and I am looking forward to seeing more of your travel pictures!
It is a delightful place and a trip there is well worth it! I enjoyed visiting your blog too :)
I would say this makes me want to go back to France but who am I kidding? Everything makes me want to go to France. Beautiful pictures.
Thanks, and I know what you mean… France is a place to return to frequently (if possible)!
Giverny should be seen by everyone visiting France. One of my favourite memories there is of the frequent groups of schoolchildren that come through with their sketch pads and eager expressions, capturing the images in their own unique ways.
It must be a delightful school trip to visit Giverny! I hope to go there again, perhaps in a different season. Anytime would be wonderful… :)
Ah…..beautiful!
It’s a very charming and peaceful place… :)
I can remember envying you Giverny from your previous post, Meg, and they’re still just as lovely.
It is an incredibly beautiful place and I’m really glad I took lots of pictures there – thanks Jo!
I need to plan for a re-visiting. Beautiful, photos, always :)
I need to do the same and go back! Thank you Amy :)
One of those places…gorgeous photos! We never went to Giverny because we always have too short a time when we go to Paris. I don’t know why – we will just have to make it longer.Now you have persuaded me – again!
It would take a day for a visit to Giverny from Paris I think. But with enough time it would be well worth it!
Beautiful photos. Got to France but never made it to Monet’s garden. Thanks for the lovely glimpse.
Thank you Jennifer! It’s such a marvelous place and I took these pictures as souvenirs of my visit… :)
Hello Megsy, these pictures are wonderful, so nearly like my own garden……not. See you very soon.
Thanks – wouldn’t it be wonderful to have a garden like this!
Fabulous pictures. The green is so inviting. Hope to make it there one day.
Thank you Darlene! You can really see Monet’s influence on this garden – it is truly amazing… :)
I was in France as well… we hit all the galleries, but how did I miss that garden? Time to go back. Beautiful, beautiful photographs! xx
I would say this is an excellent reason to return to France! Thank you Barb :)
Such vibrant greens and such a beautiful location, great reflections in the last photo.
Thanks Sam! I was so busy admiring the flowers while I was there it was only later that I noticed all the greenery… :)
This is utter bliss, Meg; that green is balm for the soul. How exciting to be going back to France this year – looking forward to more fabulous photos!
I can’t wait to go back to France and my camera is ready – thank you Lorna!
Isn’t it amazing the number of colors and shades of green that you see? It is such a Spring Thing to watch the foliage begin to unfurl, and before you know it, the entire world seems covered in green! Lovely photos. Very peaceful and relazing.
Thank you! That’s a really wonderful description of spring – the greenery is just as charming as the flowers… :)
Beautiful pics and a hopefully not too long to wait for some nicer weather :)
Thank you – I’m hoping to see spring very soon too!
Beautiful images. It must be nice to have a trip to France to plan.
Thanks! I’m starting to plan for my trip to France and I can’t wait… :)
I still haven’t gotten to Giverney. But it is on my list. Now more than ever because of your lovely pictures. Thanks for sharing them.
You’re welcome and I’m so glad to know you’d like to go there – it’s a gorgeous place!
I loved Monet’s garden! You have captured it well, Meg! Thanks for taking me back for just a little while.
Thank you Naomi, I really appreciate that! This garden is one worth remembering… :)
On this cold day these photos have warmed me up. I am also reminded that this Thursday is the first day of spring.
It’s really nice to remember that spring is almost here even though it still seems so cold! I thought the garden would give a preview of the warm weather ahead :)
Gorgeous photos, the door is stunning. Happy planning! :-)
Thank you! I am having so much fun planning… :)
These photos feel so fresh and springlike – lovely!
Thanks – I can’t wait for spring and see all the plants come back!
To France again? Wow! That’s wonderful and I’m sure you can’t wait. The photo of the green double doors is really beautiful! Happy spring travel planning, Meg. :-)
Thank you Debra and I’m really looking forward to going back to France!
Well, you *know* how I love green!!!
You have so many connections to green I can understand why!
Gorgeous greens!
I thought they were just as colorful as the flowers!
That place is special!! I must still visit… soon hopefully! ;-)
I want to go there again too, and the sooner the better!
Lovely! Tis the season to go green. :)
It will be so wonderful to have lots of sunshine, flowers and greenery again!
I have been to Monet’s garden in deep summer and it is indeed all shades of “green”. Beautiful photos.
Thanks Teresa! It must be really gorgeous during the summer!
Just lovely. I’ll be in Paris this spring as well. Happy planning and travels!
I think spring is an ideal time to travel! Have fun in Paris :)
The green which captured in these gorgeous photos is so beautiful. I love Monet’s garden, it is worth for visit. I have a small video from it in my YouTube channel.
I’m happy you liked the pictures. Monet’s garden is exquisite and the greenery is as pretty as the flowers!
Heavenly! Springtime in the Carolinas still seems a long way off. It’s in the 40s and rainy. Yuck.
The weather has been pretty disappointing so far! It can start warming up any time now… :)
Beautiful photos! Monet’s Garden in Giverny is someplace that I have always wanted to visit. We were in Normandy last year during spring break but the garden wasn’t open yet – it was a huge disappointment for me!
I’m really sorry you missed seeing it! I was there in May and there was so much in bloom already. I’m sure you’ll have another opportunity to go in the future… :)
Gorgeous greens!
I thought the greenery was really beautiful too!
The pictures looked so familiar… We visited this place some years ago, lovely place!
It’s really lovely, and I’m glad the pictures reminded you of when you were there!
