Weekly Photo Challenge: Chaos

Claude Monet, the famous impressionist painter, said that his most beautiful work of art was his garden in Giverny.
When I visited it one summer ago, however, I wasn’t impressed. I didn’t find it as breathtaking as the well-coiffured Versailles and Kew Gardens.
It was more like a wilderness. It seemed that plants and flowers were laid out without much of a plan and allowed to grow as they pleased. Instead of order, I saw chaos. I guess this was what made Monet, Monet and me, me. I looked and didn’t see.
I hope it’s not too late to be like Monet, if not to paint, learn to see.

It’s all in the eye of the beholder, right? Very cool that you got to see it for yourself.
