The Monet Garden at Giverny

I have wanted to come here for years. Never managed it - even though I lived about four hours drive and a ferry ride away. I should have made the effort and it would have become an annual pilgrimage.

No wonder DM felt very much at home. It is like Stanwell Hall on steroids

Of course we didn't have the lake

Dahlias

and Daturas

Backlit Sunflowers

As it is autumn there are not so many visitors there. I believe it is packed in the summer 

End of season blowsy border

Colchicums in the grass

Much more to come...
