You wonder how many times Monet actually used these gardens as inspiration for his art -- likely hundreds. Perhaps his most spectacular pieces are the huge canvases he painted on display in Paris' Orangeria museum. These were the works of an old man loosing his eyesight to cataracts, but are truly spectacular!

Definitely hundreds! In fact, for the last 40 years of his life, he painted almost nowhere else. He even created a floating studio on a small boat so he could paint within his waters, and nearby on the Seine.

I like bridges in gardens too. Something just so peaceful about them. Here's one from Rikugien Gardens Tokyo

One of my favorite, which I keep returning to, Monet's garden in Giverny, where each visit and season offers both familiar and differing views.

A Bridge to Everywhere

Every place we travel has its landmarks, and for nearly every city on a significant river, at least some of those landmarks turn out to be bridges.

Gumbo's Pic of the Day, Oct. 30: Monet's Gardens at Giverny

Almost as if he were painting with plantings and water, the Impressionist painter Claude Monet spent years creating gardens and water features around his house and studio in Giverny, west of Paris and on the edge of Normandy.
