GARDENS BY T: GIVERNY AND MONET
http://gardensbyt.blogspot.com/2012/05/giverny-and-monet.html
Sunday, May 27, 2012. Giverny, a village in the province of Normandy is about 50 miles northwest of Paris. O n day two we traveled by motor coach to my most anticipated destination of the tour, Monet's Garden in Giverny. We passed fields of bright yellow canola. Drove along the Seine, saw a barge. And marveled at the quaintness of the homes and churches in the small villages. Canola field and tree infested with mistletoe. Monet's Giverny residence was a former cider farm. Sights and Sounds of The Garden.

Saturday, June 16, 2012. In direct contrast to the bucolic setting of Monet's residence, we next visited Versailles. Versailles was formerly a hunting lodge, built by Louis XIII in 1624. Louis XIV expanded the hunting lodge into one of the largest palaces in the world. The Palace covers 37,000 acres and at one time had 1400 fountains. View of garden from Hall of Mirrors.

Monday, June 13, 2011. RANDOM SHOTS OF PEOPLE. Friday, April 22 was our last day in China. We left our hotel at 7:30 am to get ahead of rush hour traffic. It had rained overnight so the streets were wet and the sky was overcast. Our motor coach took us to the station to catch the Maglev Train which would transport us to Pudong International Airport. Here are some facts about the Maglev Train:. The Maglev travels at a top speed of about 430 km (267 miles) per hour. This is our last full day in China.

GARDENS BY T: January 2010
http://gardensbyt.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 30, 2010. Wow, it's so difficult to get back into the swing of things after the holidays. Thanksgiving and Christmas were so enjoyable. I loved spending time with family. We talked, we played games, we opened gifts, we laughed, we cooked, we ate and we ate, and we ate. Is it possible to have a get together without a table laden with food in our midst? Now it's the end of January. It's back to work, it's back to the gym, it's back to eating sensibly again. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Saturday, July 17, 2010. I mentioned in my last post that I'm leafing through old gardening magazines. I'm coming across loads of useful information. One of my gardening friends who lives in the country happened to mention how much she dreads encountering a snake. The next day, I read a tidbit about repelling animals.for snakes, ring your garden with sisal rope. Snakes won't crawl across it. Sunday, July 11, 2010. More on Bird of Paradise. From a 1994 edition of "Horticulture":. Native of South Africa.

Earn good income from you photography by using Image Libraries. Image libraries are a very good way of making money from your images. Image Libraries have contacts around the World and will monitor and agree the price and use of your images, which means you have more time to take photographs, rather than chasing clients and payment. I use two Image libraries, The Photolibrary formerly known as OSF for my wildlife images, and the Scientific Picture Library SPL for my scientific work. The link shows some o...

Oxford right plant identification and advice website.: Masonay bee causes £800 damage to floor
http://complete-gardens.blogspot.com/2008/01/masonay-bee-causes-800-damage-to-floor.html
Masonay bee causes £800 damage to floor. Before I put up my solitary bee house, one Solitary Bee had used my overflow pipe as a safe tube in which to make her line of clay chambers which she provisioned with pollen and laid her eggs. Whilst on a trip to the USA the system slowly filled up. Unable to drain out of the overflow pip the water dripped on the floor and on to my wooden floored hall. I’ve now put up solitary bee houses. For these wonderful little bees. No risk of swarming. They are benef. Diseas...

Sunday, November 15, 2009. And Then They Came For Me: Remembering The World of Anne Frank" was the play I attended last night at the local high school. The play interspersed. Onstage acted scenes with onscreen taped interviews with two holocaust survivors, Eva Schloss. In the play program Mrs. Schloss. As the audience left the theater, a student reminded us to "always remember". Unfortunately man's inhumanity to man continues to occur around the world. Chouchou. What will it take to stop the madness!
