Hello, my friends! I have a treat for your weekend!
Last May at this time I was in Paris on a whirlwind photographic trip that took me from there to London, Birmingham and Amsterdam – a very intense journey of assignment work and must-get-the-shot projects (followed by a solid week of sleeping). But no manner of deadlines could dissuade me from the marvelous respite of an afternoon among the roses in the gardens of the Musée Rodin. So much beauty to overwhelm the senses!
I realized I’d not shared the images with you here so felt that would be a fitting way to end the lovely month of May. Shall we go?
The formal, symmetrical architecture of the museum stands as a graceful and elegant counterpoint to the wild exuberance of the blooms.
Witnessing every rose bush at peak bloom truly astonished me! But Paris was warm, almost hot that week. (A few days later, at the David Austin Rose Center outside Birmingham, England, I found it cool and damp with the roses still in buds.)
(You might recognize this garden from the movie Midnight in Paris.)
Going back through these images revived the beautiful, almost dreamlike, memories of that visit, where I took a few hours, caught my breath, cherished my surroundings. Despite the heavy gear, sore feet and jet lag, I am so fortunate in my work to experience such exquisite beauty and to share it with you.
I do hope you have enjoyed visiting this incredible location!
Much love,
G
You continue to show and share so much beauty. I adore all you share. . Gorgeous as always. I dont have a fav here. I love them all.
Hugs and Much Love
With the weather we’ve been having lately, this year wouldn’t have been such a good year to visit Paris I’m afraid. My son went on a schooltrip to Paris for two days last week and they had the most… awful weather(rain ALL the time) but they had the most wonderful time anyway OF COURSE! I can clearly see that from the pictures he took ;)
So great to see all these wonderful blooms in Paris from your pictures. Don’t know if there were any flowers abloom yet this year. Don’t think my son would have noticed if there were ;) All I know is there were always a lot of umbrellas in the pictures and that brought some colour.

Lovely photos G. I always say this, but it is true. I’ll put Paris on my bucket list; Ireland is in the works for next June with a friend. Total garden tour – yay!

My dear Georgianna, I strongly believe that Europe suits you so perfectly! I love seeing your ‘European themed’ flowers!
After hearing a very sad news tonight, this post cheered me up. Flowers have this power to comfort us and seeing your wonderful photos is a joy ! It must have been a great afternoon walking and resting in this superb garden. It’s really beautiful and your photos are lovely. It’s so beautiful with the pastel colour of the Musée in the background. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful week-end Georgianna !
Dear Georgianna,
How beautiful Paris in the month of May is, amongst all the gorgeous rose gardens. Just want to be walking around there.

I’m not sure who takes care of all those roses but I sure could use a lesson or two from them! Simply stunning gardens. Thank you for a most romantic view, Georgianna!
such beauty and joy in your photos!
Thank you Georgianna for posting these wonderful photos. They are ideal with my Sunday coffee, as I’m just waiting for the heat to rise to go outside to do some gardening. My roses aren’t blooming yet but soon they will be.
Simply stunning!
