Operation "No flower left unphotographed" was a resounding success.

On our final day together, my parents and I decided to go to Monet's Garden. I was there earlier this year with the Pattons, and it really was one of my favorite things. It was pretty exciting to get to see it again, this time when the water lilies were blooming!





Of course, when you visit Monet's garden, everyone (including me) is there to get some nice photos of the garden and flowers, and it really did feel like everyone was doing their level best to make sure that no flower was left unphotographed by the end of the day. Now, that's a goal that I can get behind!





























The waterlily pond was perfectly still, reflecting the trees and the cloudless sky above. It is a special and peaceful place, even with the hundreds of other people that were also in the garden with us.











It was a perfectly golden afternoon in a fabulous garden. The fall blooming flowers like dahlias and asters were so vivid and vibrant, and we really couldn't have had better weather. I thought it was the perfect way to end our time in Paris!
