I know I have been away for a while, but life has been very busy since I retired from the rat race.
I'm not sure where this post should go, but the flowers forum seemed like the right spot. My wife and I just got back from a European vacation and while we were in Paris, we decided to go see Monet's house and gardens.
Here are a few of the pics I took while in the garden. It was surprisingly vibrant for October.
To get an idea of the size of this garden (it's one of many) this is halfway down one of probably a dozen paths.
The arbor trellises were everywhere
It was as thick as thieves in there.
There was a small stream running through one area and along one side. It ended at a beautiful lily pond.
This was one of the highlights in a two-week trip across Europe.
“So I'm lightin' out for the territory, ahead of the scared and the weak and the mean spirited, because Aunt Sally is fixin’ to adopt me and civilize me, and I can't stand it. I've been there before.”
