Like most of Galapagos, Sombrero Chino (Chinese Hat) is volcanic in origin. The exploration path starts with a gorgeous beach, bright red Sally Lightfoot crabs and marine iguanas. The path goes past a colony of endemic Galapagos sea lions before passing a lava field: look for the lava cactus growing in the cracks. On the beach, keep your eyes open for the American Oystercatcher, a wading bird with a distinctive orange beak. On the trail, you may see lava lizards.
The origin of these "pearls of nature" is a miracle. As I looked more closely at the ground, I saw a small blade of grass that was slightly higher than the others. For this reason, I was able to take my camera closer to the object and take this detail bigger. I was fascinated when I could look at this little wonder of nature at home.
While I was photographed, the sunrays warmed the ice crystals on the grasshammer so that they just slid down the stalk, when I finished with photography. What a wonderful experience that fascinated me once again and I could learn from nature.
This picture shows me both sides of the winter. The first is cold and somehow fancinating, the second shows me that the cold of the wafting sun has to give way. At least in the spring, when the life awakens again.
I am happy to share this here with you.
Enjoy everybody and a wonderful weekend to all of you.
Thank you for all your sympathy for my pictures here and the dear comments, which always give me great pleasure.
Have a wonderful time in the nature.

Music A Different Corner
Anamorphosis art installation by French artist Pascale Peyret; it is a terraced garden suspended in the air, where shoots of tradescantia (a.k.a. dragon tree) grow from glowing plastic (transfusion) bags
Fuchsia magellanica, commonly known as the Hummingbird fuchsia or Hardy fuchsia, is a species of flowering plant native to South America, from the temperate southern regions of Argentina and Chile to the Straits of Magellan, in general growing near the waterways.
In the southern part of Chile (Western Patagonia) it grows at the edge of the woods.
This sub-shrub can grow to 10 feet (3.0 m) in height and width in frost-free climates, and 4–5 feet (1.2–1.5 m) where is colder. The plant blossoms profusely over a long period with many small and tubular pendent flowers, in brilliant shades of red and purple, softer shades of pink and lavender, and some in white.
It is naturalized in the United Kingdom and Bolivia, regions where it was introduced for gardening. It arrived in England in the late 18th century. According to tradition, the English gardener James Lee discovered it on the windowsill of a seaman's house and bought it for a considerable sum. As early as 1793 Lee is said to have sold a large number of pieces that he had pulled from this one copy.
In Australia, the species is recorded as naturalised in the states of Western Australia, South Australia, New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania.
The species is widely used in gardening, as an ornamental plant, due to the color and shape of its flowers. Many of the existing cultivars of Fuchsia are hybrids of this species with another of the genus, generally originating in warmer climates, since their main use as a source of hybridization is due to their resistance to cold.
It is grown in temperate and subtropical gardens, or in containers on patios, balconies, and indoors, but prefers a sunny position.
The plants are quite cold-hardy compared to other species from more tropical climates, and only die in hard frosts.
The profuse pendent flowers are a nectar source attractive to hummingbirds.
This Fuchsia is one of the species hybridized in obtaining "Brinco-de-princesa" (Princess earring), the name by what is known in Brazil.

In certain sense we can say that Fuchsia magellanica can be the mother of many species of fuchsias.
Cela fait longtemps qu'ici à Erquy, on le sait :
C'est sur le Cap que se situe le village gaulois d'Astérix et Obélix.
Parceque depuis l'origine, on le sait le village d'Astérix se situe en Armorique. Mais l'Armorique c'est vaste.. Ce serait sur le Cap d'Erquy dans les Côtes d'Armor que se situerait ce village créé par Goscinny et Uderzo en 1959 !
Le plus fragrant, c'est le dessin des "trois rochers" visibles en page de garde de chaque album, sous la loupe.
Des rochers qui ressemblent en tous points à la "Pointe des trois pierres", tout au bout du Cap.
SI l'on rajoute à cela le port et les plages, cela fait beaucoup de coïncidences. En octobre 2020, lors du premier festival de la BD d’Erquy en bulles, Régis Grebent, dessinateur d’Uderzo, le père d’Astérix et Obélix, a affirmé que les trois rochers de la bande dessinée étaient bien ceux du cap d’Erquy.
Uderzo, de son côté, a confirmé à plusieurs reprises ne connaitre que Paris et la Bretagne où il a vécu plusieurs années près de Saint-Brieuc. Il a même confié s’être promené à plusieurs reprises à Erquy et s’être fortement inspiré du littoral des Côtes-d’Armor pour planter le décor du village gaulois.

Some climbers ascending the rock at Hay Tor, situated in Devon's Dartmoor.
Idetordoune (1566), Ittor Doune (1687), Idetor (1737), Eator Down (1762) and Itterdown (1789) are a few recorded examples of earlier names by which Haytor was known. The name Haytor is of comparatively recent origin, and is probably a corruption of its old name and that of the Haytor Hundred, which covered the coastal area between the River Teign and River Dart, itself now considered to have been named after a lost village located somewhere between Totnes and Newton Abbot.
In the 19th century steps were made to allow pedestrians up to the top of the tor and a metal handrail fixed to allow tourists easier access to the summit. This was not entirely welcomed and in 1851, a Dr Croker complained about the rock steps that had been cut "to enable the enervated and pinguedinous scions of humanity of this wonderful nineteenth century to gain the summit". The handrail was removed in the 1960s due to it rusting: the stumps of the uprights are still embedded in the rock
Origines de la vie, Précambrien- Cambrien
(De - 3700 à -490 millions d'années)
Entre la formation de la Terre ( -4,5 milliards d'années) et les premiers témoignages de vie, il se passe presque un milliard d'années. Pendant les 3 milliards d'années suivants, la vie reste confidentielle et aquatique. Dans l'eau, les organismes se diversifient et se complexifient. D'abord (vers 580 millions d'années) des organismes marins au corps mou, puis les organismes aux structures dures - carapaces et coquilles - se développent fortement en nombre et en taille.
