Au bord d'une piste cyclable, cette belle marmotte sort manger de l'herbe fraiche, je pense que ces une maman :)
La commune est formée de trois anciens îlots de granit faisant partie du sillon de Bretagne, dans sa traversée de la Loire, situés le plus en amont de l'estuaire de la Loire. Après l'aménagement de la Loire au XVIIIe et XIXe siècles et la création de digues permettant de rétrécir la Loire (de 2 km à Paimbœuf à 200 m à la hauteur de Roche-Maurice) ce qui a eu pour conséquence le comblement des bras nord et sud par des dépôts de sédiments, et le rehaussement de près de 6 m du niveau de l'eau pour accueillir les bateaux de fort tonnage. La Basse-Indre et La Haute-Indre se sont peu à peu ancrées sur la rive nord, tandis qu'Indret est resté sur la rive sud. Des routes en chaussées surélevées ainsi que des comblements divers ont fait disparaitre, en partie, l'aspect insulaire de cette commune atypique qui vivait au milieu du fleuve et de ses ressources, de la pêche et des industries navales. L'altitude d'Indre varie entre 0 et 26 m.
The town is made up of three ancient granite islets forming part of the furrow of Brittany, in its crossing of the Loire, located the furthest upstream from the Loire estuary. After the development of the Loire in the 18th and 19th centuries and the creation of dikes allowing the Loire to be narrowed (from 2 km at Paimboeuf to 200 m at Roche-Maurice) which resulted in the filling of the northern arms and south by sediment deposits, and the raising of the water level by almost 6 m to accommodate heavy-tonnage vessels. Basse-Indre and Haute-Indre gradually anchored themselves on the north bank, while Indret remained on the south bank. Roads in raised causeways as well as various fillings have partly eliminated the insular aspect of this atypical commune which lived in the middle of the river and its resources, fishing and naval industries. The altitude of Indre varies between 0 and 26 m.

This disgusting gooey stuff grows quickly - overnight - now in the fall after a drenching rain. Look for it on open areas, such as bare soil and gravel driveways. Believe it or not, but you can actually eat this algae! A brave co-worker and I both sampled some during our lunch break, and we were unimpressed by its texture and taste. If you desire some fresh seaweed tossed into your dinner salad tonight, star jelly is right up your alley.

The abbey was founded in 1150 by a small group of Cistercian monks in the commune of Flotte-en-Ré, a few metres from the sea. A few years later, the abbey became one of the largest and most powerful abbeys in the west of France. Indeed, it was one of the largest religious monuments of the time and a large part of the Ile de Ré was run by this monastery.
However, in 1294 the Abbey of the Châteliers was destroyed for the first time by the English before being rebuilt a few years later. Then came a succession of religious wars, including the Hundred Years' War, in which the abbey was once again the victim with part of its building destroyed again in 1388 and a few years later in 1462 with much more serious damage.
In 1990 the building was classified as a historical heritage site and in 1997 the abbey was renovated and secured by the General Council of Charente-Maritime. Today, the abbey is a cultural site open to the public.
One of the most common mushrooms worldwide but still good for a picture.

Polytrichum commune (also known as Common haircap moss, Common hair moss, great gold headed or Great Goldilocks) is a species of moss found in many regions with high humidity and rainfall. It is widely distributed throughout temperate and boreal latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere and also found in Mexico, several Pacific Islands including New Zealand, and also in Australia. It typically grows in bogs, wet heathland and along forest streams. (Wikipedia)
These are the golden, hairy, 'calyptra', which on tis species of moss, completely envelop the fruiting body. They will eventually drop off, revealing the spore bearing sporangium.

Hibiscus syriacus, l'Hibiscus de Syrie, plus communément nommé Hibiscus, Ketmie ou Althéa, est une espèce d'arbustes de la famille des Malvacées.
Contrairement à ce que laisse supposer son nom, l'espèce est native de Chine et Taïwan. Elle est très largement cultivée comme plante ornementale dans les jardins et a été introduite un peu partout dans le monde, notamment en Europe via la Syrie, et peut devenir envahissante dans certains pays
Ici, nous avons affaire à un Althea à fleur double rose clair et rouge
Arbuste buissonnant au port érigé, il fleurit abondamment de juillet jusqu'aux gelées. Ses fleurs rose clair et rouge sont doubles. Son feuillage vert devient jaune en automne. Il préfère les sols profonds, pas trop secs ni trop compacts.
Hibiscus syriacus is a species of flowering plant in the mallow family, Malvaceae. It is native to areas of east Asia, but widely introduced elsewhere, including much of Europe and North America. It was given the epithet syriacus because it had been collected from gardens in Syria.[3][4][5] Common names include the rose of Sharon, (especially in North America), Syrian ketmia, shrub althea (or simply althea, Korean Hibiscus and rose mallow (in the United Kingdom). It is the national flower of South Korea and is mentioned in the South Korean national anthem.
Here we have a double-flowered Althea in light pink and red.
A bushy shrub with an upright habit, it blooms profusely from July until the frost. Its light pink and red flowers are double. Its green foliage turns yellow in autumn. It prefers deep soils that are not too dry or too compact.

Notre-Dame de Beaulieu-en-Rouergue Abbey is a former Cistercian abbey founded in 1144 , today a center for contemporary art. It is located in the commune of Ginals in the north-east of the department of Tarn-et-Garonne on the border of the departments of Tarn and Aveyron.
All the plants are planted. Black basalt at lower left was surely sourced on site while breaking up old lava flows during development. Ocean and Sky in the background are completely natural, except for invisible excess CO2 and microplastic.

This are common species but it is a long time since i've found such a nice group.

On the edge of Kingsmere Lake, Mackenzie King spent almost 50 years (1903 – 1950) improving and expanding his estate, which he bequeathed to all Canadians. From the moment we enter this picturesque estate through wooded paths, we can enjoy the beauty of the Mooreside Main House and gardens where he hosted several important statesmen such as Winston Churchill among others. The spirits lead us to King’s historical ruins:
The Abbey Ruins
The stones from the Abbey Ruins were pieced together from remnants of other buildings, including
- the Canadian Parliament Building destroyed from fire in 1916,
- the crest of a former speaker of the House of Commons at Westminster, England,
- the stones from the printing office owned by King’s maternal grandfather, and
- the temple-like front piece (“Greek temple on a hill” he says) – came from a bay window removed from a Sandy Hill house about to be demolished. His imagination turned the bay window into the Acropolis.
Mackenzie King Estate, Gatineau Park, Québec, Canada
Au bord du lac Kingsmere, Mackenzie-King passa près de 50 ans (de 1903 à 1950) à améliorer et à agrandir son domaine qu'il légua à tous les Canadiens. Dès que nous entrons dans ce domaine pittoresque par des chemins boisés, nous pouvons apprécier la beauté de la maison principale et des jardins de Mooreside où il a hébergé plusieurs hommes d'État importants, tel que Winston Churchill. Les esprits nous mènent aux ruines historiques de King:
Les ruines de l'abbaye
Les pierres des ruines de l’abbaye ont été reconstituées à partir de vestiges d’autres bâtiments, notamment
- le Parlement canadien détruit par un incendie en 1916,
- l'emblème d'un ancien président de la Chambre des communes à Westminster, en Angleterre,
- les pierres de l’imprimerie appartenant au grand-père maternel de King et
- le morceau de façade en forme de temple « temple grec sur une colline », dit-il) - venait d'une baie vitrée retirée d'une maison de Sandy Hill sur le point d'être démolie. Son imagination transforma la baie vitrée en Acropole.

Aquests últims matins de desembre estan sent bastant freds, i abans de començar a collir les olives, el meu fill fa una foguereta amb restes seques de la poda i algún que altre tronc que roman al tros des de fa anys per escalfar-nos una mica. Ahir en un d'aquests troncs hi vam veure aquests curiosos bolets. Particularment no n'havia vist mai d'aquest tipus.
I de passada em ve de gust compartir amb vosaltres aquesta pàgina web que trobo ben curiosa. Si us interesseu pel món de la micologia, segur que gaudireu...

Estos últimas mañanas de diciembre están siendo bastante frías, y antes de comenzar a cosechar las aceitunas, mi hijo hace una pequeña hoguera con restos secos de la poda y algún que otro tronco que permanece ahí desde hace años para calentarnos un poco . Ayer en uno de estos troncos vimos estos curiosos hongos. Particularmente nunca había visto hongos de este tipo.
Y ya de paso me apetece compartir con vosotros esta página web que encuentro muy curiosa. Por interesáis por el mundo de la micología, seguro que disfrutaréis...

Moûtiers, Savoie, Auvernia-Ródano-Alpes, France.
Moûtiers, históricamente también llamada Tarentaise, es una comuna en el departamento de Saboya en la región de Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes en el sureste de Francia.
Moûtiers se encuentra en las profundidades del valle de Tarentaise. Es su capital geográfica, entre Albertville y Bourg-Saint-Maurice. Varias estaciones de esquí francesas populares se encuentran en sus alrededores. El Isère atraviesa la ciudad.
Moûtiers fue la capital de los Ceutrones, una tribu celta de la Galia. Su nombre antiguo, Darantasia, aparece en un antiguo mapa de carreteras romano conocido como Tabula Peutingeriana. En un texto medieval que data de 996, Moûtiers fue llamado Monasterium (raíz de la palabra "monasterio") de donde se derivaron sus nombres posteriores, Moustiers y finalmente Moûtiers.
Moûtiers era la sede episcopal de la Arquidiócesis Católica Romana de Tarentaise. La arquidiócesis se disolvió en 1801 y se restableció como la Diócesis de Tarentaise. Esta diócesis se unió con la diócesis de Chambéry y la diócesis de St-Jean-de-Maurienne para formar la diócesis de Chambéry, Maurienne y Tarentaise.
Hoy, la ciudad tiene un pequeño centro histórico con calles estrechas que rodean la catedral de Saint-Pierre.

Moûtiers is located deep in the Tarentaise Valley. It is its geographic capital, between Albertville and Bourg-Saint-Maurice. Several popular French ski resorts are located in its vicinity. The Isère flows through the town.
Moûtiers was the capital of the Ceutrones, a Celtic tribe of Gaul. Its antique name, Darantasia, appears on a surviving ancient Roman road map known as the Tabula Peutingeriana. In a medieval text dating from 996, Moûtiers was called Monasterium (root of the word "monastery") from which its later names, Moustiers and finally Moûtiers, were derived.
Moûtiers was the episcopal see of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Tarentaise. The archdiocese was disbanded in 1801, and re-established as the Diocese of Tarentaise. This diocese was united with the diocese of Chambéry and diocese of St-Jean-de-Maurienne to form the diocese of Chambéry, Maurienne and Tarentaise.
Today, the town has a small historic center with narrow streets surrounding Saint-Pierre cathedral.

Honfleur is a commune in the Calvados department in northwestern France. It is especially known for its old, beautiful picturesque port, characterized by its houses with slate-covered frontages, painted many times by artists, including in particular Gustave Courbet, Eugène Boudin, Claude Monet and Johan Jongkind, forming the école de Honfleur (Honfleur school) which contributed to the appearance of the Impressionist movement.
Obernai commune in the Bas-Rhin department in Alsace in north-eastern France. It lies on the eastern slopes of the Vosges mountains. The Obernai name first appears in 1240, when the village acquires the status of town under the tutelage of the Hohenstaufen family. The town then prospered. It became a member of the Décapole in 1354, an alliance of ten towns of the Holy Roman Empire in Alsace. The Thirty Years' War (1618–48) damaged the town, which was occupied by the Imperial troops, then by the Swedes. The town was ransomed and ceded to France in 1679, and started to recover some of its prosperity, without totally recapturing its former glory. The town was annexed by Germany in 1871 with the rest of Alsace, then returned to France after World War I in 1918.

Amélie-les-Bains-Palalda, Vallespir, Occitanie, France.
Amélie-les-Bains-Palalda es una localidad y comuna francesa situada en el departamento de Pirineos Orientales y la región de Occitania, en la comarca del Vallespir. Tenía 3.683 habitantes en 2007.
Administrativamente, pertenece al distrito de Céret, al cantón de Arles-sur-Tech y a la Communauté de communes du Haut Vallespir.
La comuna se localiza en el valle del Tech, en el corazón del Vallespir, al oeste de Céret. Puede accederse a ella por la carretera departamental 115. Antes de ser desmantelada en el siglo XX, también contaba con servicios de ferrocarril. Está prevista una vía verde que siga el recorrido de la antigua vía férrea (hasta Arles-sur-Tech).
En realidad, Amélie-les-Bains-Palalda se compone de tres municipios antaño separados: Amélie, Palalda (anexado en 1942) y Montalba (anexado en 1962). Por ello, el paisaje comunal es bastante variado. La mayoría de la población se concentra a orillas del Tech. Cabe destacar la formación geológica de las las gargantas del Mondony.
Amélie-les-Bains-Palalda is a French commune and town located in the Pyrénées-Orientales department and the Occitania region, in the Vallespir region. It had 3,683 inhabitants in 2007.
Administratively, it belongs to the Céret district, the canton of Arles-sur-Tech and the Communauté de communes du Haut Vallespir.
The commune is located in the Tech Valley, in the heart of the Vallespir, west of Céret. It can be accessed by departmental highway 115. Before being dismantled in the 20th century, it also had railway services. A greenway is planned to follow the route of the old railway (up to Arles-sur-Tech).
In reality, Amélie-les-Bains-Palalda is made up of three once separate municipalities: Amélie, Palalda (annexed in 1942) and Montalba (annexed in 1962). For this reason, the communal landscape is quite varied. Most of the population is concentrated on the banks of the Tech. It is worth noting the geological formation of the Mondony gorges.
