Jardin d'Eau

The Water Garden.
For my largest picture post, ever.

(*if you are sick of pictures of flowers, pictures of me or of me with flowers, I advise you to avoid this post*)

The Artist's Garden at Giverny

Okay, so anyone who knows me can tell you I love flowers (like seriously - it can be a near debilitating distraction when I am walking around). I also happen to love Monet. 
The Artist's Garden at Giverny was a literal dream come true.

{this combination of blue and pink!}
More, and more, and more flowers.

Peonies, s'il vous plaƮt

Maroon & Gold

 University of Minnesota flowers 
{has it really been two years since I graduated?}
It feels like nothing and it feels like forever ago in the same moment. 
Life, love, location, vocation have all changed.
Will I keep up this rate?

From Monet's Window


[[From the artist's window of his Giverny home]]
The Artist Garden at Giverny.
An absolute dream.
(ps - I took 400 pictures today. Yep, 400. I was falling deeply in love with everything I was seeing. So lots more to come!)

Would you please tell me..



"Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to," said the Cat.
"I don’t much care where--" said Alice.
"Then it doesn’t matter which way you go," said the Cat.
"--so long as I get SOMEWHERE," Alice added as an explanation.
"Oh, you’re sure to do that," said the Cat, "if you only walk long enough."
Paris is a long walk, but where to walk to next?

If you ought to like to see more beautiful blossoms ---->

Courtyard Blossoms

You would think I have some sort of threshold for the excitement I get out of spring blossoms.
But actually - it is pretty limitless.!
Outside my window in the courtyard.

Industrious


Spring is the time of plans and projects ― Leo TolstoyAnna Karenina 
Beautiful whites on the corner of Cardinal Lemoine and Rue Monge
I am feeling that a lot truth very strongly right now! I want to cook ambitious meals, make beautiful little things, sew something, make a hardboard, plant a garden, read a million books, explore new areas - everything. I crave being literally productive. Plus, I am very stimulated in this incredible city. Yet, I'm incapable of starting everything it is inspiring me to do - I don't have the means here! It is something I am really excited about upon my return to the states.!

Irises

Christina and I lost Chloe the other Saturday morning when we were wondering around in Montmarte after the best brunch ever.
She had become distracted by some irises.
((purple can be quite captivating))

Rambouillet Pt. 1

We were invited to spend the weekend away from Paris again - we were able to go to another absolutely amazing home - complete with a beautiful garden and pool - outside of the small town of Rambouillet. 
But wait.. there is a pool?
