NOT Monet - but yet - interesting!

The last week I have gone by these haybales a number of times, each time thinking of Claude Monet’s - Haystacks at Giverny.  These bales are a short distance from the Gardens at Waters East and I often picture how Monet would paint these this time of year.

 


Though this is:  not Giverny, not haystacks but rather haybales, not Monet with a camera – but only me.  When I pass this way, I still think of Monet and the many paintings over the seasons that he did at Giverny in the mid -1880s to mid - 1890s

 

Do enjoy my modern Giverny!

    1. Glad you like the photos of the fields. I am about to post more photos of the day lilies that I have hybridized here. Now close to 500 different creations.

  3. I love your photos and Monet's paintings, Jack. I had seen them in the Hermitage here in Saint Petersburg. Love this field.

    1. WOW! You bring back memories of my visit to the Hermitage - so many years ago -1986. Glad you enjoyed the hayfields. Not exactly Monet but still nice indeed!

  4. The hay bales are very beautiful. I live at the countryside, and they are a dear sign every autumn. I love Monet's paintings too. You had a very good idea with Monet and the hay bales!

    1. I thought so too! As I said, they made me think of Monet. Part of the farming area around this spot of Earth.

  5. Me encanta esa alpaca apilada y sobre todo de esa forma. Por Andalucía se apila en foma de dados. De esta forma , de tu fotografía, me gusta mucho más.
    Que tengas un buen fin de semana.

  7. Art is everywhere, though we often blow past it. One wonders how Monet would have seen the contrast 130 of so years later? Thanks for the unique post.

    1. You are most welcome. It would be interesting to see Monet's paintings of today's harvest.
