Sorry—that last post was too wintry, and lowers my spirits! (Though the photo was taken in July.) Here's a Monet orchard to get us back on track.
Happy poetry month!

I had no clue this was poetry month!
ReplyDeleteI noticed you added a quote-of-the-month section, and this first quote is very funny!
I love Monet; last year I saw two of his painting called "Lilies" at the MOMA in New York City. They were simply amazing!
Thanks for sharing!
Monet is quite wonderful. If you haven’t been to the Orangerie in Paris, here’s a virtual tour of the two rooms of waterlilies— http://www.musee-orangerie.fr/homes/home_id24799_u1l2.htm
