Thursday morning….on to Giverny

Giverny at 9am when it opens with the early morning light is absolutely the best time to see Monet's home and his unique and outstanding gardens. And as you can see, the weather, once again, is perfect!

Here's a favorite photo that Jan took. See the bug on the orange flower?

Heather took this shot of a lone pink lily out in the pad.
Irene took this photo from the bridge.

Here is Jane's beautiful dahlia.

Here is one of Linda's photos, also from the bridge.  Interesting to see people's different perspectives!Here is Pam's Pink Profusion!

Sherrill C's cone flower all by itself contrasts so well with this background. Bravo!Marge says about her photo: "Monet's house has a beautiful array of colors inside and out. The kitchen in yellow and blue is so welcoming!  No photos allowed inside, unfortunately."

Some sweet friend took this photo of Vivian with her camera at Giverny.  She is like a beautiful flower!

Sherill W's favorite photo of Giverny:

  

We had a ball learning how to make those oh so desirable little delicious macarons from pastry chef Audrey in Paris. Everyone made different flavors and we went around with little boxes and did a little macaroni cookie exchange.  We are in heaven!

Here is our instructor Audrey, such a cute diminutive little creative woman! She is shooing how to pipe out the macarons.

Olga is smacking the pan to flatten the macaroons.

Vivian and Marge with their finished products.

Suzie and Jan with their macaroons all done.

Look at these babies and DROOL!!!
