High Museum ...Outdoor Wednesday...

I love to hear the word "FREE" so when Bank of America and Fulton County have FREE weekends to the museums in Atlanta I am right there to take advantage of the fun. Two weeks ago we viewed the Monet exhibit at the High Museum of Art on Peachtree.




Unfortunately, inside photos were not allowed in most areas. I had to sign a wavier that those that were allowed would not be used for publication. Photos of Monet's works were allowed only with a cell phone camera.

To view more Outdoor Wednesday photos please visit our hostess Susan HERE

  2. Very cool! And I love your banner for your Blog!

    Glad you liked the post on the birds. Those nests are huge!!!! My friend says that she has seen them catch on fire. Can you imagine? And the noise when they are all squawking is unbelieveable. Interesting that you saw them somewhere else with the same big nests. I took my grandson & he was couldn't believe how COOL they were. Have a great week.

  3. Joyce--Thanks for answering my question. I still have no list of blogs I follow. When I clicked your follow button it ,of course, told me that I already did. My dashboard says I don't follow anybody :( Crazy--I'm going to "follow" the bread crumbs to the bed and give up!

  9. Hi Joyce, you lucky little duck! I would have loved to see that exhibition. We went to see Monet’s garden during the summer last year and it was one of those experiences that you remember very vividly for your entire life; sadly entry was not free :)

  14. You know what amazed me about photographing art is that when we were in Paris, we went to the Louvre, the Orsay and the Rodin Museums. You could take all the pictures you wanted to take in all of those places.

  18. Oh what a gorgeous museum - very impressive. I love Monet and especially that purple blue hue that I call Monet Blue. I was lucky enough to visit his gardens and a museum in Paris that houses many of his water lilies. He was genius with great style and technique. Great Post!
