Today's photos are from Midge Sandlin (see her garden in South Carolina HERE). Midge says, "We just returned from a wonderful trip to France and a river cruise on the Seine River. As usual I took many photos – mainly of gardens and flowers along the streets. The first two here were taken at the Luxembourg Gardens – the wide borders were amazing and everywhere! I love the squared off trees at the far end of the second shot – I would never do that, but in France it works. The rest of the photos are from Giverney – now I know what I want my gardens to look like!" Wow, Midge! I'm in love with those images of Giverney. Thanks so much for sharing your travels with us!
Help me keep kicking out posts all winter long–send me photos of your gardens! Email me at [email protected]. Thanks! –Michelle

I'm in love with that first photo from Giverny! Enlarged it and just studied the marvelous jumble of colours and shapes, soft and dreamlike, not sharp or harsh. If you cropped the top and bottom off the photo, it would look like a Monet painting rather than a photo of his garden. Thank you, Midge, for sharing such a beautiful place.
Giverny I'm in love these photos are so beautiful. We didn't get there when we went,now I wish we had.
Classy and chic! I wish you had more photos. Thanks much for sharing Midge!
Delightful photos of pleasant, autumnal gardens. Thanks for sharing your travels. Like May, I am fixated on the first Giverny photo. The colors of the distant hills, house and flowers are so rich and serene.
Proof,as always, that the beauty of flowers is a universal language and we all speak it enthusiastically. Looks like it was a wonderful trip, Midge.
Love Giverny! The full lush look and the spilling over of plants onto the walk. So charming. Wish my husband shared my viewpoint. Any plant gracing the sidewalks generates complaints!
you perfectly caught the enchanting profusion of Monet's garden ....
Oh Giverny it's a criminy! Just gorgeous and so inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing! I heard river cruises are wonderful.
Thanks for sharing Midge. Brought back some happy memories,. We were there in September a few years ago now. It was rainy but the gardens were still beautiful!
Hi Madge! I visited both Luxembourg and Givernery when I was in Paris and was wide eyed and slacked jawed as I toured each one. I was there in mid May and there was not as much lushness or striking color as shown in your pictures. Thanks for sharing. Vikki in VA.

Thanks for sharing Midge. Can you please tell us when exactly you were at Giverny so we could plan to visit at the same, wonderful time?
Thank you Midge! We didn't have enough time to visit Giverney and now I don't feel miffed any more. Just gorgeous. Great photographs.
