Since as long as I can remember I have loved the works
by the French Impressionist artists - in particular
Claude Monet
I took these pics a few months ago while visiting the Japanese water- lily garden
at Monet's home "Giverny"
I have used a slight softening in these bottom two captures
to give a closer impression of how Monet
painted this magnificent water-garden
" My garden is my most beautiful masterpiece"

So beautiful!
Beautiful photographs of a spectacular garden... HAve a lovely weekend... xv
Love your photos :)
Thank you for these pictures! I was not able to understand how the specific natural light of Paris/ France (where I grew up)was so important in the impressionists work until I moved to NY where the light makes everything so much more crisp and sharp in my opinion...
Fantastic captures of such a beautiful garden! They all look like paintings and would be worth framing and hanging! Awesome! Hope you have a lovely weekend, Dianne!

Sans aucun effet, la photo ressemblait déjà à un tableau impressionniste... Superbe !

Hi Dianne,

So dreamy and I would like to be there, walking around the garden.
Enjoy the weekend

Oh, how I agree with Monet! how lucky to have seen this stunning garden! my heart bursts with wishing the same for me.
Love the processing on this. I have been to this wonderful place, and love your shots. What an ideal place for photography!
I've always loved Monet, also. And I really like what you did with your photos, I'm going to have to give that a try sometime!
Monet is a gardener's artist. I have always loved his works and your photos of his garden are beautiful. The softening effect really helps to capture his painting technique.
Beautiful!
That does rather look like a Monet... lovely! I'm so glad you came by to share on Weekly Top Shot #66!
Even without the softening, the shots show the inspiration for Monet. I've only been to Monet's Garden in the spring, so I fear I've missed some of these beautiful soft colors.
