Natural Beauty

Beauty is said to be in the eye of the beholder. A subjective concept, it is many things to many people. Claude Monet saw beauty in Nature and interpreted his appreciation of that beauty for us with brush and canvas. We have always believed that Natural beauty is the highest form of beauty as it is the direct handiwork of the Creator.

For years we have had a familiarity with Monet's garden and art because of our dear friend Elizabeth Murray's work as a gardener in his garden and her subsequent books about Monet's Passion (Google). What a treat to see her books and 2012 calendar for sale over 6,000 miles from home. Liz is one who has never been shy about expressing love for Nature, people, animals and beauty. Liz, it is pure joy to share the passion...

We are in Paris now, winding down and anxious to return home. We miss our family, friends, and even work. In the past 6 weeks we have spent 11 nights in a real bed and look forward to our own. Tomorrow will be our last day in Paris for a while so it will be a full one. This won't be our last post, we need to have a retrospective look before we're done.
