Muscat à petits grains à Mireval (Hérault)

Jack Fruit

 

The jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) is a species of tree of the mulberry family (Moraceae) native to parts of South and Southeast Asia. It is well suited to tropical lowlands. Its fruit is the largest tree borne fruit in the world[1], seldom less than about 25 cm (10 in) in diameter. Even a relatively thin tree, around 10 cm (4 in) diameter, can bear large fruit. The fruits can reach 36 kg (80 lbs) in weight and up to 90 cm (36 in) long and 50 cm (20 in) in diameter. The jackfruit is something of an acquired taste, but it is very popular in many parts of the world. The sweet yellow sheaths around the seeds are about 3–5 mm thick and have a taste similar to that of pineapple, but milder and less juicy.

  

The Gambel's quail (Callipepla gambelii) is a ground-dwelling bird in the New World quail family. It inhabits the desert regions of Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, Texas, and Sonora; also New Mexico-border Chihuahua and the Colorado River region of Baja California. The Gambel's quail is named for William Gambel, a 19th-century naturalist and explorer of the Southwestern United States.

il s'agit bien d'une image en couleur, non retouchée, juste le capteur cramé par le soleil ...

Photos prises lors du Brevet du Randonneur Caussenard 2008 parti de Mostuéjouls, empruntant le Causse de Sauveterre et ses corniches surplombant les Gorges du Tarn, "petite" balade magnifique de 30km.

 

Classés au Patrimoine Mondial de l'Humanité en Juin 2011, les Causses et Cévennes ont désormais acquis une reconnaissance à l'échelle mondiale, ce grâce à l'accord de l'Homme et de la Nature via l'agro-pastoralisme et l'architecture.

An hints on taking Dragonflies in flight would be appreciated.

I'm trying all types of settings to see if I can get the perfect one just for these insects.

I used - f/6.3,

ISO-500

Exp-1/80sec

Une photo nécessite parfois une bonne part de chance, telle la sortie imprévue de ce moine alors que je prenais seulement la face arrière de l'abbaye de Conques.

PLEASE BE SURE TO VIEW ALL 3 PHOTOS!

I cannot believe that I have not posted this sequence before! I was looking back through earlier star shots (this was in September, 2012) and I noticed that I had captured a meteorite streaking through the night sky and by the constellation of Orion. I was bracketing my exposures so each shot is progressively longer in time, reflecting the longer streak of the meteorite. Each successive shot was made immediately after the previous one.

 

I know it's a meteorite and not a satellite because the light streak clearly shows a wavering, wobbling, tumbling effect that I have learned is common to meteorites: some actually tumble as they fly through space and some produce a very interesting corkscrew effect (see my photo below in the comments section). If you view this photo at its largest size you will see the wavering, wobbling line the meteorite is taking as it plummets through space.

 

I did not see this when I shot it because many times when I'm out shooting it's cool enough for my breath to produce vapor that is visible as fog or noise if it moves in front of my lens, so many times I will turn my head and breathe in a different direction away from my camera; and for longer exposures, such as the third one, I'll sometimes look around at different areas of the sky while holding the shutter button down, thus missing whatever is going on live in the area of sky that I have my camera trained on.

Fayard = hêtre ... en toponymie et onomastique, on le retrouve dans les noms de lieu et de famille comme "Fau", "Delfau" ...

Il me semble bien que ce sont des hêtres ...

This is yet another amazing capture from our National Black-footed Ferret Conservation Center.

 

The center breeds endangered black-footed ferrets and then prepares them for release into the wild. Here, a BFF is seen learning to catch live prey! Over 90% of a black-footed ferret's diet in the wild is prairie dog.

Je me suis fait peur ce jour là, les jambes commençant à s'engourdir alors que c'est bien le Languedoc Roussillon : grand vent et - 7° sous abri ...

Caution: the above picture may effect your sensibilities! An amazing capture of a rare 3 headed duck! Only here on facebook!

OK all my wag friends out in cyber-space, how about an appropriate title for this "piece"!

Trouvée un instant auparavant, cette tortue de Hermann est probablement née la veille, au vu de la terre encore présente sur sa carapace.

Another one from the summer.

 

I spotted this chair sitting under a tree in someone's yard while I was out walking one night and the colours just caught my eye.
