I have a great friend from Long Island, and one of her friends staying. So I'm in tour guide overdrive.
I am very fierce since I hate tourists and crowds.
Why do I live here? Hmm.
Anyway, it means I make the poor jet-lagged friends get up very early.
So we are the very first people anywhere.
The man at gate of The Jardin Majorelle told me we were numbers one two and three for the day.
The light is also better.
The colors!
They have repainted the little pavilion..............
Such fans of palms!
I always used to think I liked old houses - now I like the simplicity of things 'moderne'.

Oh the brightness! The vibrancy! These images just pulsate with life. Well done, yet again, Elizabeth!
Glorious photos of glorious Majorelle - I love thise patterns at the base of the walls in the first photo, and the wonderful shadows on the Majorelle blue wall in the second. Oh, to have been there and heard the birds singing for the joy if it all.....
Beautiful as always, Elizabeth! Lucky friends to have a guided tour.
Interesting about things "moderne"... I'm thinking perhaps either extreme might be more appealing than the middle?...
As always, I love wandering the images in your blog.
I am asking a favour now. I would be highly honoured if you would accept my tag for a meme. It is totally optional!
Please visit my blog for details.

Ohh they must have done the painting recently it looks different than in March!
These colours are truly amazing.
I would be a perfect guest in your house. I am always up early :-)
I'm just the same have to get up early to be the first before the crowds arrive, it drives every one crazy!
The colours in this post are just amazing!
Those are some beautiful photos. I really love the ones with the sun
making patterns, but my favorite is the last one, just stunning.
the colors are so vibrant. Just magnificent Elizabeth. Have fun with the friends from Long Island. Are they from Centerport? Give them a little wave for me if so.
Hello Elizabeth and Salaam –a- Lekum (did I get the spelling right??) ... the colors in that pavilion are stunning. I forget that colors like that exist in the real world (not digital world, that is). And I am most flattered and honored to be added to your blog roll ... thank you so much. I’m glad you enjoyed my last posting. I also wanted to let you know, I *really* appreciated hearing about your student Don … I get such joy knowing some of my own experiences resonate with others. Best wishes, Roxanne
Oh the colours are just so vibrant they 'pop' in these photos. My fave is the second photo...something about that bright blue wall & the palm shadows. Beautiful! I live in an area where there are so many palms, so I need to learn to appreciate them more. Must confess to not having taken much notice of them before...
What a great colours. My husbands loves cactusses He will be jalous
We've got a palm like that in our garden. It's only tiny and it took quite some years to become a bit visable
Hi again Elizabeth,
Thanks again for responding to my request for a meme response.
There is no rush!
Gemma
The vibrancy of the vblue in the2nd pic and the last one is utterly amazing!
Really enjoyed these!

Wonderful photos ! I love this place . I'm a fan of the Majorelle's blue
Wow, the colors are incredible...if I were there I wouldn't know where to start photographing...
I think your "get there early" method is perfect! I hope your guests appreciate you; how wonderful to have your own private tour guide.
Wow! The blues and greens of those walls are so amazing. Bluer than the sky. How wonderful to be surrounded by so much rich color...
All these colours together are just amazing. x
Wow, a sensational technicolour post! Love all the crayola colours!
