Well, I guess we were a riot in Nashville. Best riot I've ever attended! I had the pleasure of viewing some of Monet's work at the Frist Art Museum several years during their "Impressionists" exhibit! I enjoyed your comments about him, his work and lily pads!!
We visited Giverny many years ago, also. Unforgettable. A young french man, former student of my husband’s climbed a cherry tree there and tossed some down to us. Quietly reprimanded by a guard, he climbed down. But we’ve never had such delicious cherries since. I attended a “riot” of 5 people. We were with a friend who wanted to protest but has mobility issues & couldn’t manage the large “riot.” We were happy for the thumbs up and cars honking. But no honking geese joined us.

The Frist is a treasure -- I love the building itself--the old Post Office, back when we took pride in our federal buildings.
Real rioters those Portland geese gaggles
The waddle with a wiggle.
What a lovely arrangement of cassoulet pots!
And how many beans could have been in them first!

A few summers ago I had some fresh figs off a tree in SW France so delicious and juicy I finally understood their appeal.
I missed the recent wiot, but you've motivated me to waddle on July 17 - and happy to honor John Lewis. Water lilies and magnolias - beautiful!
The wecent wiot was wonderful. Next one will be even better.
Love your piece on water lilies and Monet. I learned something new. Thanks.
Surprised me too. The little museum there has a copy of Monet's plant order.
