Giverny — Monet's garden in June 1999

This morning I decided to take some of the photos that I took in Monet's garden back in 1999 and post them as a slide show. We stopped there for an hour or two before driving on to Rouen. The gardens were very crowded.



I took these 20 years ago using my first digital camera, a Kodak Digital Science DC260. I also processed them in Photoshop Elements to crop, contrast, and apply effects to them. Some of these are me doing my impression of an Impressionist....

  1. I am so glad that you posted these photos. I could, and probably will, watch them over and over.

  2. This brings back such good memories. I still have to find my set of photos taken the same day. As I recall, I saved them at the time from KDC to PICT. And used Photoshop to remove as many people as I could! When I find them, I'll have to save fhem in JPG. Such is life!

    This is a great slideshow that I'll come back to. Thank you for that.

    1. It's true, that trip to Giverny and Rouen is a very good memory. It's the only time I've ever been to Giverny. My photos out of the Kodak DC260 were already in JPG format, I think.

  3. That's a good slideshow without too many people. You were there for poppies which I've missed in my two trips. I think the gardens are always crowded, but there are always beautiful flowers- there must be a large staff of gardeners!

  8. Those are lovely, thank you. Giverny is on My List, as is Honfleur.
    Last winter, I drove with a French friend from her home near Sword Beach over to Fecamp to visit her old family friend who had landed on D-Day with the French forces, and to walk on the beaches below the chalk cliffs. Normandy is such an amazing area.

  9. Thank you so much for this. I sent the link to my Monet-loving granddaughters. Seeing Giverny was a highlight of their trip to Paris.
