My Visit to Monet's Garden!

Yesterday I shared with you some highlight photos

of my recent trip to Paris!!!

Today It's Giverny.

We spent one beautiful day of our trip

traveling to and walking the grounds of

the home where Monet lived and painted in his

gorgeous gardens.  It was possibly my favorite

day of my journey--possibly.

Here are my photos:

Paris, A Dream Come True

Firstly, I have to say that I'm fully aware that my lovely blog

has been totally neglected.  I'm sorry.  I miss my blog. 

I miss sharing with you.  So now that summer's over 

and I'm back full-swing in my studio from college visits with

my now high-school senior son (OMG!) and my VERY

long awaited trip to Paris (which I'm about to share with you),

I'm proud to announce; I'm here!

The very first thing I have to share with you is the fact that

I'm now able to check something else off of my loooong

bucket list.  PARIS.  I've dreamed of going to Paris since

I myself was a senior in high school.  I even wrote

my college essay about walking along the Seine River with

a palette under one arm and a baguette under the other.  Ha.

Before the Summer ended, my husband, son, and I took

off to the city of lights and had an amazing trip.

Here are some of the highlights:

Notre Dame

and one of Notre Dame's gorgeous stained glass windows

Le Merais which was walking distance

from our hotel and filled with

narrow, cobblestone-lined streets

Le Louvre!

The Pompidou Center which is a modern museum and

and amazing structure

Delicious fondue

Giverny--L O V E

I'm going to share more photos

from this gorgeous day-trip to the

home and gardens of Claude Monet

tomorrow

The Seine

Montmartre

Moulin Rouge

Sacre Coeur

I heart Paris!

more tomorrow

Reaching for the Sky

I've been looking up a lot lately.

Up to the treetops.

Up in awe of the natural beauty

that surrounds us.

Here's a sampling of what I've seen.
