The Water Lily Pond

Pictures by Claude Monet

Monet's footbridge arches over his water lily pond at Giverny, with the words Enjoy Every Moment and, inside, a wish for every quiet morning ahead. Monet built this garden so he could paint it, and its lilies filled the last thirty years of his work. For someone starting a well-earned retirement.
