Michelle on Monet's Japanese Bridge, Giverny, France

About a 2 hour drive northwest of Paris on the border of Normandy lies one of the most famous gardens in France - that of Claude Monet - the father of the impressionist painting era. Monet lived here from 1883 'til his death in 1926. It was here that he painted his bazillion water lillies and his Japanese bridges in various lights and shadows of the day. For me (Mush) it was really special as I have loved Monet's work for many years and it was very moving to finally see what he saw, felt and painted. * Mush
