I’ve never traditionally been away much in May so didn’t expect to hear from Google this month! But Rediscover this Day threw this up this morning – from Giverny on May 30th, 2018. I was happy with the timing of our visit to Monet’s garden…. the irises hadn’t quite faded and the waterlilies were just beginning to bloom…..
Here’s a few more images from the day….
Lovely images. It rained cats and dogs on the two occasions I visited, too much to attempt a photograph. Hope you’re enjoying the summer weather we are having here at the moment.
Bad luck to get rain twice! Hope you were still able to enjoy….
Lovely images. It rained cats and dogs on he two occasions I visited so I didn’t get one photograph – it was that bad. Still, I bought lots of postcards. Hope you are having the lovely summer weather we are experiencing here – what a joy to sit outdoors in a tee-shirt!
Gorgeous here…. lovely to sit outside…. Hopefully we’ll get another few days…
Beautiful – I love the irises in particular 🙂 And yes, I wish I were there too!!
It was a lovely day trip from Paris – and easily done. And then back to the city for an evening stroll…perfect!
Thanks for the memories, while in Versailles used to come to Giverny a lot, now its been years! I am just updating an older post myself on it/ Cheers
That would be a lovely outing – assuming you could bypass Paris en route… Glad you enjoyed the memories!
Oh yes I do that good road warrior I always do even going further east!
Is Ireland reopening? We have rescheduled our trip 3 times so far!
WELL!! There’s the question! At the moment the schedule is as follows ..
June 2nd – hotels etc. opening for overnight guests
June 7th – Pubs/ restaurants opening for outdoor dining
July 5th – indoor dining..
But – authorities going crazy at the moment… there’s been a great spell of good weather and everyone is out and about… fears of too much socializing and a fourth wave!!
We’ve booked to go to the west of Ireland in late June – I’m going to prebook restaurants soon… it worked well last summer and while it was a bit restrictive, it was worth it every night to have something sorted.
Such wonderful photos, Marie. There’s nothing better than being able to visit blooming gardens, wherever they might be… We are planning on visiting Glenveagh National Park and walk around the Castle Gardens which are regarded as one of Ireland’s outstanding horticultural masterpieces 🙂 Hope you were enjoying the sunshine, long may it last 🙂 Aiva xxx
Lovely – we were there last August for the first time. If you’re spending a few days there you should consider climbing Mount Errigal – even a bit of it – depending on what Ericeira is able for…. Looks amazing but we didn’t have time. Definitely going to do it when we get back to Donegal…
Meanwhile, enjoy the Sligo sunshine! XXXMarie
Fabulous views of the gardens! We visited decades ago, in June, I believe. We had a lovely visit too.
Its a lovely thing to do isn’t it…. and then to go see his paintings in Paris… XXXMarie
Ah, Paris. We haven’t been in years. Yet another reason to go back.
So much to see and do there – it never ends….. This was actually a lovely relaxing day away from the manic walking around the city!
Indeed, beautiful garden!!
It’s a lovely place Jyothi, especially if you are familiar with an of his paintings…. XXXMarie
Wish I was there too!
Or anywhere!!!!!
Absolutely!
I might have visited Giverny in summer, but as long as there are flowers the garden is wonderful and inspiring.
You’re absolutely right. It’s just a great place to visit at any time….
A magical place to visit indeed!!
There’s something very special about it right enough. XXXMarie
Would love to see this garden. Gardening is my second favorite activity other than travel. We really enjoyed seeing Monet’s paintings in France. Thanks Marie
Ah well then you’d love it….. all 3 boxes ticked!
😃
Nice pics. Wife has been there and made greeting cards from some of her pics. Looks beautiful.
Its lovely… even if you don’t like flowers!!! Great idea re cards ….
