Havana. Take me back. And take us back it did!!

Of course, Havana is sooo much more than the Hotel Nacional but an afternoon spent on the lawn here is worth the trip. From the gun emplacements, circa missile crisis, (not called the CUBAN missile crisis here!!) overlooking the Caribbean to the bar where so many notable ghosts from the city's heyday probably roam to the lobby that looks very 40s-ish. U.S. citizens may not stay here overnight but we can stop and enjoy a drink while pondering the vagaries of history.

What better place to grow beautiful things than in a garden?

By Linda Foxlow I had not known what to expect when we went to the home of the impressionist painter Claude Monet in Giverny, France in March 2023. I had, of course, seen pictures, and Monet’s beautiful paintings. But the gardens themselves defy description. I’m using this glimpse of a small part of the gardens and the window through which the artist viewed his incredible setting to announce a new endeavor. We travel extensively each year, and there are abundant opportunities to see some of the world’s most beautiful places. Naturally, I try to capture some small part of that as we travel. It was suggested that we ought to share some of those images from time to time, and so that is what we are doing. You can find this images and a few we have posted on Fine Art America . We’ll be adding more later. We hope you like them. We’d love to see your comments below.
