Trinity College Dublin Library

By

Since Linda's granddaughter starts at Trinity this week we thought it would be nice to feature some pictures we took there during our tour in 2015. Allan mentioned that he is a bibliophile. It would be nearly impossible to get him out of here.

Founded in 1692, it is the largest library in Ireland with over 6 million printed manuscripts, journals, maps and music. Our tour guide was a graduate student who roomed with Jack Gleeson, aka Joffrey Baratheon, Game of Thrones!!

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

By
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.
