When I saw this pond of 'Water Lilies', it reminded me of Claude Monet's famous painting, by the same name. I expect Monsieur Monet would beg to differ.
From the shores of New England to the Oregon coast, I would like to share some of the places that I've been and things that I've seen.
As we travel you may notice; there is an emphasis on Massachusetts...my home state, you will see a lot of barns...that I love, whether old, new or dilapidated, we are not traveling in any particular direction, and we may visit some places more than once.
Please enjoy my American Photo Journey and your comments are welcomed!

The photo in the title...
features the Far Away Farm in Ashfield, Massachusetts.
I was born in my grandmother's old mill house in Cornwall, England and came to the USA with my parents in 1958. My Dad was in the RAF and as a child I lived in many different locations in England and even the Rock of Gibraltar.
Massachusetts has always been home in the US except for a brief period when I resided in Idaho, giving me a chance to explore the Great American West. For nearly 30 years I lived on Cape Cod before my husband and I moved back to the mountains* of Massachusetts with our Goldendoodle Lucy, and our cats, Lilly and Molly. I am also the mother of a grown son.
*Some of you would call them hills but they're mountains to me!

great job Sunny,
jan :)
Beautiful picture, I enjoy water lilies in the garden and also I love paintings'Monet who lived and painted at Giverny, next Paris
Beautiful water poppies. Better than Monet.
If a pond of lily pads inspired Monsieur Monet, why should they not inspire you?
I think you are wrong. I think Monet would become a follower of your blog.
There's something so soothing about waterlilies, and I adore to see the frogs sunbathe on them.
That's my favorite Money painting - the one with the waterlilies! Cool Sunny!
Monet would LOVE it, Sunny.... And I love it too.
Hugs,
Betsy

Water lilies such stunning flowers. Looks like this amount won't disappoint when all in full bloom. Brilliant.
It's beautiful Sunny!
Love the shot, its a wonderful place to see - Monets Garden and Lake, with the bridge.
I think you did Monet proud. :) Bravo!
Sunny...I know that painting and yes it does take me back to Monet!

It's beautiful. And if you used the painting thingy in photoshop, you might not be able to tell the difference between a Monet and your photo!
