This is my contribution to the photo challenge #Ilovenature - today's theme is flowers.
When Victoria and I first met in Paris a couple of years ago, we decided to take a quick jaunt to Giverny to visit the Claude Monet Foundation. It is home to stunning floral landscapes and the famous water-lily pond which he painted so often.
Giverny is a small village in the middle of Normandy, but Monet fell in love with it when his train passed by in 1883, eventually living there for 43 years. Victoria and I understood why as we left a small piece of our hearts with the lavender scented gardens.
