French Impressionist
This is more like it, Monet Garden in Giverny.
When it comes to Art, I am totally clueless. Can’t differentiate what is a brush stroke from sun stroke. As far as I’m concerned they both end in stroke.
It was a gorgeous sunny day. Being a dark-skinned person, I prefer to stay away from the sun and keep my skin covered. All I have is a pair of sun glasses to protect myself. Wearing a black top is definitely fashionable but what was I thinking when I put in on this morning? Black soaks up the heat. Definitely, I will have a sun stroke.
Once we reached the garden, it was a relief to stay under a shady tree.
Here I can see living colours; the smell of the flowers is intoxicating, the buzzing of the bees, the fluttering of the butterflies, the dragon flies, and birds feeding in the garden. This place is heavenly.
I just love how the garden is growing freely. There are cosmos, dahlia, nasturtium, geranium, poppy, brown-eyed suzy, rose, and all sorts of ordinary plants that I have in my garden in smaller scale.
The famous water garden with lilies floating calmly showing off its beauty is a symbol of how one must bloom in a murky environment. Hmm, I wonder lonely as a cloud. Maybe Buddha could teach me a thing or two just meditating on the lilies.
I wanted to take a picture of the water-lily but my camera does not have a powerful zoom lens. Uncle C, one of the pilgrims, is closed at hand and asked for his help. He has longer arms.
Picture this: I asked Uncle C to hang on to my back pack while I lean forward closer to the flower to take a picture. Ordering him never to let me go because falling in this murky water is not what Buddha taught me.
Good boy got my picture. Thank you, Uncle C.

Hello, I think you visited my blog and some of my posts. Thanks. You may like to see my other blog’s post since you mentioned Buddha and murky water in this post.
Hi there. You are welcome. Thanks for the invite and I’ll check if Buddha will be there to greet me.
So I took a peek of your post, thanks for showing me the way. I did hang around at your site to relive memories of turkey and Greece. Awesome pictures of chimney civilization.
Thank you for visiting my blogs. Turkey and Greece trip is one of my memorable trips.
It was a pleasure to visit your blog. I hardly took pictures when I was in Turkey and Greece. You have good pictures of your travel.
thank you
I can imagine sitting next to you in this serene garden. What a beautiful way to spend the day.
It was way better than Versaille. I love flower gardens just like your front yard.
