I chose this simple image because Water and life are represented in it. The water so precious on earth, essential to life, and this group of flamingos still called "flamboyance" The shot was taken in the Camargue (France ), lying on the ground. It is the only place in Europe where these animals breed.
They populate the marshes and ponds by feeding on small molluscs, crustaceans, insects, larvae, algae contained in the mud. A shrimp artemia salina, give them their pink color.
Due to global warming, the sea level is rising. Storms will become more numerous? The Camargue will one day be threatened?
With imagination, if pink flamingos could speak, they might seem to be saying this to us: "Let's all act together against global warming to help limit the harmful impacts on biodiversity and preserve the wonders of the Earth!"
#. J'ai choisi cette image simple car L'eau et la vie y sont représentées . L'eau si précieuse sur terre , essentielle à la vie ,et ce groupe de flamants roses encore appelé "flamboyance " La prise de vue a été effectuée en Camargue(en France ) ,allongée sur le sol.C'est le seul endroit en Europe où ces animaux se reproduisent.
ils peuplent les marais et étangs en se nourrissant de petits mollusques, crustacés, insectes, larves, algues contenus dans la vase.Une crevette artemia salina, leur donnent leur couleur rose.
Du fait du réchauffement climatique ,le niveau de la mer augmente ..les tempêtes vont devenir plus nombreuses ?la Camargue un jour menacée ?
Avec de l'imagination ,si les flamants roses avaient la parole ils sembleraient peut être nous dire ceci :" agissons tous ensemble contre le réchauffement climatique pour permettre de limiter les impacts néfastes sur la biodiversité et préserver les merveilles de la Terre !"

We came across this purple gallinule while visiting Circle B Bar Reserve near Lakeland, Florida. The bird has a beautiful display of color that changes depending on its position toward light. He measures about 13 inches (33 cm) from beak-tip to tail-tip. We believe the green plant floating on the water’s surface is called Duckweed and indicates a healthy microclimate.

Colourful lichen, composite organisms that arise from the algae and bacteria living among the fungi on the bark of a tree. The macro shows the beautiful rainbow of colours and textures that go unnoticed.
Thanks for all the views,faves and comments,very much appreciated.

An American Bullfrog sitting on the algae in a small pond that is covered in duckweed. Every year I try to make it a point to visit this location to photograph the frogs. This year they were there in abundance. Please view large to experience Frog Life in its full glory!
Thanks for stopping by ~!
I was lying on a rickety, wooden jetty, in a remote place, looking down into the sea, and watching the marine algae swaying around.
Purple loosestrife is a wetland plant native to Europe and Asia that was brought to North America in the early 19th century. It was likely introduced when its seeds were included in soil used as ballast in European sailing ships and discarded in North America. [...]. Purple loosestrife has now naturalized and spread across Canada and the northern United States. It can be found in wet meadows, river floodplains and damp roadsides. Wikipedia
Since it was brought to North America, purple loosestrife has become a serious invader of wetlands, roadsides and disturbed areas. The plant forms dense stands with thick mats of roots that can extend over vast areas. The stands reduce nutrients and space for native plants and degrade habitat for wildlife. Each plant can grow as many as 30 flowering stems that can produce up to 2.7 million seeds each year. The tiny seeds are easily spread by water, wind, wildlife and humans.
