Japanese bridge in Claude Monet's Garden

Giverny was Monet's garden and most favorite place to work. At the edge of his garden he had a pond that contained a Japanese bridge. His garden had some of the most beautiful flowers in Paris. It consisted of many wild and planted lilies, purple pansies, daisies and so much more. In his pond there were gorgeous yellow, pink, and white lilies. He drew these day after day. Even though his garden was beautiful it took about three years to get every single thing exactly the way Monet wanted it. His wife, Camille, and his garden at Giverny were everything he thought he would ever need.
