Les synonymes taxinomiques sont Geranium freyeri Griseb., Geranium duplicatum Kitt.
Sous-bois herbacés des montagnes d'Espagne, de Suisse, Italie, Dalmatie, Monténégro et de France.
En France elle se retrouve dans le Massif-Central, les Cévennes, les Corbières, les Pyrénées, les Alpes et en Corse.
Geranium nodosum, the knotted crane's-bill, is a perennial herbaceous plant in the family Geraniaceae.
This plant is native to southern Europe. It is present in the Alps, Jura, and the Pyrenees.`
The typical habitat of this species is the margins of deciduous forest among oak, beech, and chestnut. It grows on calcareous and siliceous substrates with neutral pH and average soil moisture. It occurs at altitudes of 100–1,300 metres (330–4,270 ft) above sea level.

Turquoise Lake is one of the tourist attractions of Wolin National Park. It is located south of the village of Wapnica (Międzyzdroje commune). Its area is 6.74 ha and it is 21.2 m deep. Since the groundwater level is 2.6 m above sea level, the lake forms a crypto depression with a depth of 18.6 m below sea level.
Before World War II, there was a chalk mine on the site of today's Turquoise Lake. After the end of World War II, the Russians dismantled the equipment located there and the open-cast mine gradually began to fill with water. In 1948, the Polish authorities decided to resume exploitation of the deposit, but by 1954 the chalk deposit had already been exhausted.
There is a karst phenomenon in the lake. The name of the lake comes from the bluish-green color of the water surface, which is caused by the splitting of sunlight in clear water and the reflections of the white chalk substrate with calcium carbonate compounds remaining on the bottom.
Der Türkissee ist eine der Touristenattraktionen des Nationalparks Wolin. Er befindet sich südlich des Dorfes Wapnica (Gemeinde Międzyzdroje). Seine Fläche beträgt 6,74 ha und er ist 21,2 m tief. Da der Grundwasserspiegel 2,6 m über dem Meeresspiegel liegt, bildet der See eine Kryptosenke mit einer Tiefe von 18,6 m unter dem Meeresspiegel.
Vor dem Zweiten Weltkrieg befand sich an der Stelle des heutigen Türkissees ein Kreidebergwerk. Nach Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs demontierten die Russen die hier befindlichen Geräte und der Tagebau begann sich allmählich mit Wasser zu füllen. 1948 beschlossen die polnischen Behörden, die Ausbeutung der Lagerstätte wieder aufzunehmen, doch 1954 war das Kreidevorkommen bereits erschöpft.
Im See gibt es ein Karstphänomen. Der Name des Sees stammt von der bläulich-grünen Farbe der Wasseroberfläche, die durch die Aufspaltung des Sonnenlichts in klares Wasser und die Reflexionen des weißen Kreidesubstrats mit am Boden verbliebenen Calciumcarbonatverbindungen entsteht.
Westliche Weidenjungfer * Chalcolestes viridis * Green Emerald Damselfly
Besonderheiten:
an besonders geeigneten, über das Wasser ragenden Zweigen kann man regelrechte Massenansammlungen eierlegender Lestes viridis Pärchen , aber auch einiger einzelner Weibchen, beobachten. Allerdings finden Eiablagen nicht zwangsläufig, wie zumeist angenommen, an Weidengehölzen statt. Die Westliche (Gemeine) Weidenjungfer nutzt zur Eiablage nahezu alle senkrecht stehenden, über dem Wasser aber auch bis zu einigen Metern Entfernung vom Ufer befindlichen, zumeist hölzernen Substrate. Die äußerst widerstandsfähigen ca. 1,5 mm langen und 0,25 mm breiten Eier überwintern bis zum darauf folgenden Frühjahr.
I count 26 specimen
Specifics:
on particularly suitable branches protruding over the water, one can observe real mass accumulations of egg-laying Lestes viridis couple , but also some individual females. However, egg deposits do not necessarily take place on willow trees, as is usually assumed. The Green Emerald Damselfly uses almost all vertically standing, above the water but also up to a few meters distance from the shore, mostly wooden substrates. The extremely resistant eggs, which are about 1.5 mm long and 0.25 mm wide, hibernate until the following spring.
I caught this beautiful little brown trout sporting full spawning colors yesterday evening while fly fishing in Casey Springs - a small coldwater stream that you can jump across in most spots but still has a harbors a healthy population of brown and brook trout. The trout here are very shy and skittish though so I felt fortunate to fool one. Brown trout spawn in swift riffles over a rubble substrate now in late October and early November.
Wish I could remember the name of this Guy. Could he be a Puffer or Blowfish? I'll just call him Hootie :-)
He was very interested in my camera and seemed to enjoy posing for a portrait.
Thanks to Flickr Friend, Sheri Rapstra, I have Hootie’s Identification. He’s just what he resembles… a Cowfish.
Call me silly, I should have guessed :-)
The longhorn cowfish, Lactoria cornuta, also called the horned boxfish, is a variety of boxfish from the family Ostraciidae, recognizable by its long horns that protrude from the front of its head, rather like those of a cow or bull. They are a resident of the Indo-Pacific region and can grow up to 50 centimeters (20 inches) long. While badly suited to the home aquarium, the cowfish is becoming increasingly popular as a pet.
Adults are reef fish, often solitary and territorial, and live around sand or rubble bottom up to a depth of 50 m. They are omnivorous, feeding upon benthic algae, various microorganisms, and foraminiferans that it strains from sediments, sponges, polychaetae worms from sand flats, mollusks, small crustaceans, and small fish, able to feed on benthic invertebrates by blowing jets of water into the sandy substrate.

These neat little jelly babies are one of my favorite fungi. They fruit in groups from a mossy or bare soil substrate now in late summer and early autumn. They likely tap into nearby tree roots for their nutrition and I usually find them associating with oak trees. Some mushroomers say they are tasty little treats but the store-bought variety sounds sweeter to me.
