Le greggi domestiche hanno determinato il paesaggio di numerosi ambienti. Le loro esigenze di pascolo e i loro limitati spostamenti giornalieri hanno infatti indotto l'uomo a sottrarre superfici al bosco per concederle al pascolo. Come su questa modesta montagna bellunese, in cui il mosaico dei prati si alterna alle macchie forestali ..... ..
Le Martin-pêcheur, remarquable par sa silhouette caractéristique et ses couleurs éclatantes, est un oiseau de taille modeste, Perché, il se tient dressé. Le corps, court et trapu, paraît disproportionné comparé à la grosse tête prolongée d'un long bec en forme de poignard (4 cm). Les minuscules pattes rouges et la queue très rudimentaire sont également les signes caractéristiques du genre Alcedo. Les deux couleurs dominantes du plumage sont le bleu, pouvant passer au vert selon la luminosité sur le dessus, et le roux orangé chaud sur les parties inférieures. De plus près, on distingue le dessus de la tête et les ailes bleu verdâtre, le dos et la queue bleu clair variant du bleu azur au bleu cobalt ainsi que la gorge blanche. Les côtés du cou également blancs sont bordés au niveau de la joue d'une tache orangée soulignée elle-même d'une large bande bleue. Le bec du mâle est entièrement noir, celui de la femelle est teinté de rouge ou d'orangé à la base de la mandibule inférieure. Le juvénile ressemble à l'adulte, mais avec le plumage plus terne et plus vert. Les pattes sont grisâtres. Les ailes courtes sont animées de battements soutenus permettant un vol très rapide et droit.

The Kingfisher, remarkable for its characteristic silhouette and bright colors, is a bird of modest size, Perched, he stands erect. The body, short and stocky, seems disproportionate compared to the large head extended by a long beak-shaped dagger (4 cm). The tiny red legs and the very rudimentary tail are also characteristic signs of the Alcedo genus. The two dominant colors of the plumage are blue, which can change to green depending on the brightness on the top, and the orange red hot on the lower parts. Closer to home, there is the top of the head and the greenish-blue wings, the back and tail light blue ranging from azure blue to cobalt blue and the white throat. The sides of the neck also white are bordered at the cheek of an orange spot underlined by a broad blue band. The beak of the male is entirely black, that of the female is tinged with red or orange at the base of the lower mandible. The juvenile resembles the adult, but with the feathers duller and greener. The legs are grayish. The short wings are animated by sustained beats allowing a very fast and straight flight.
it has to be helped and supported by all the techniques of photography, but, when taking a photograph I know to be good, the sensation I always have is a modest one. It is an inner "ah", the knowledge that something is right. When this understanding is there, something strange happens to me. The heartbeat slows down, the whole metabolism seems to come down to the rate of the landscape itself, and the mind, almost as if coated with an emulsion itself, starts to soak up the meaning of the place. There is nothing casual about it. It is not a snatch :-)

it heightens red, and there is no flower or ripe fruit which it does not set off to greater advantage... it is both gay and modest, bright and tender. Green can only awaken amiable and gentle thoughts, remembrances gracious as those of spring, and other promises of nature: green gives repose to the mind, as it does to the sight :-)

I cannot help it but I like the modest colors better during fall
last year that was
while this year stormy weather took away the leaves soon, while they were still rather green
A sweet little dunnock on a local nature reserve - I think they're such understated little beauties.
On the coasts of Finland, on the seashores, either modestly directly in the sand or on the rocks, grows this delicate pink wild rose. It is the glaucous dog rose (rosa dumalis).
I found her blooming magnificently in Hanko, on the shore of the Gulf of Finland, on top of a large rock. She is content with little, yet gives so much.

Le site du cimetière de bateaux est surement, à cause même de son caractère modeste, l'un des plus curieux espace insulaire noirmoutrin. Ce lieu, aussi insolite que discret, possède le charme d'un espace très particulier que les peintres amateurs ou officiels de la marine ont su de tout temps représenter sur leurs toiles. Le regard est interpellé par les vieilles coques en bois multicolores d'anciennes unités de pêche sur la rive droite du chenal : ces témoins d'un passé révolu forment un poignant cimetière de bateaux. Il se dégage de ces espaces loin de l'activité urbaine de la rive Nord une nostalgie qui confère à ce cimetière de bateaux une atmosphère très particulière. Les bateaux, abandonnés depuis des dizaines d'années, semblent attendre que la mer les fasse lentement disparaître, offrent un spectacle changeant en fonction des marées et de la météo.
The site of the boat cemetery is surely, because of its modest character, one of the most curious island areas in Noirmoutrin. This place, as unusual as it is discreet, has the charm of a very special space that amateur painters or naval officials have always known how to represent on their paintings. The gaze is drawn to the old multicolored wooden hulls of old fishing units on the right bank of the channel: these witnesses of a bygone past form a poignant cemetery of boats. These spaces, far from the urban activity of the North Shore, emanate a nostalgia which gives this boat cemetery a very special atmosphere. The boats, abandoned for decades, seem to wait for the sea to slowly make them disappear, offering a spectacle that changes according to the tides and the weather.

Landgoed Den Treek-Henschoten is popular with hikers. The modest variety of heath, former production forest, shifting sands, meadows and the cultural-historical country house makes the estate pleasant to explore. The landscaped marked routes meander through the estate and bring the visitors to the most beautiful places.
A small yellow modest flower has been joined by another one of its kind. Together they are more and shine like two sparkling suns in a summer meadow. Just you and I - together, forever in love.

DESCRIPTION OF HISTORIC PLACE
The Alex Houston Residence consists of a modest 1 1/2 storey wood-frame house on a country lot. It is within view of the Fraser River and is located in the Greater Vancouver Regional District's Derby Reach Park in NW Langley, British Columbia.
HERITAGE VALUE
Built in 1909 by Alexander Houston, the Houston Residence is important for its historic significance in terms of its association with the Houston family, its location, and the period in which it was built. It is also an important example of a community-led restoration that combined the resources of the Langley Heritage Society and the Greater Vancouver Regional District.
The Houstons were an important family in British Columbia's history. Alex's father, James, is credited for being the first European to discover gold along the Fraser River, the first independent farmer in the Fraser Valley, one of 33 men to petition the government for an incorporation of the district, and one of the first councillors when Langley was incorporated as a District in 1873.
Alex took over the family cattle and dairy farming business in 1902 (after the death of his father). He was the only son of James and was himself an important pioneer in the Derby area. His family was very active in the community until the 1950's, having established and hosted the community May Day celebrations and donating land for a commemorative cairn across the street from his house, marking the site of the first Fort Langley.
The farmsite stands on what was originally land occupied by the first Hudson's Bay Company Fort (1827) and later by the Townsite of Derby (1859). It is a focal point for Derby historical interpretations.
The Houston farmsite reminds visitors that resource-based industries found throughout the province (mining, logging and fishing) were only some of the major forces shaping British Columbia in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The resource-based industries were comprised primarily of single men, while the small farms were comprised of families. Small-scale family farms like this one provided an economic base for the industries mentioned above, and they provided the social stability that was necessary for a growing colony.

A Great Blue Heron in an uncompleted nest atop a dead trees captures a scene of delicate construction and stark natural beauty. These large wading birds are often seen in "rookeries" during late winter and early spring, building or repairing nests high in the canopies of standing dead trees (snags)
I am grateful for your continued support and appreciate every view, fave, and comment!
Modeste entrée principale de la cité enclose, défendue par le faubourg et que l'on peut dater des années 1440-1450. Nos premiers Consuls la transformèrent en horloge en 1509 avec campanile, cloche, cadran de pierre sculptée au soleil rayonnant. Le chemin de ronde ruiné ne laisse que ses machicoulis.

I thought it looked interesting from the back...
Ammi Visnaga 'Green Mist' is an Egyptian wildflower similar to Queen Anne’s Lace.
It has longer stems, hardier blooms, and is lovely pale green.
Bishops Flower, Queen Annes are common names.
Bishop's Flower, or Queen Anne's Lace flowers are nectar rich and attractive to bees and butterflies.
Ammi ‘Casablanca’ is a wonderful border plant and good cut flower. It has larger, showier, more rounded umbels than Ammi majus.
Without doubt one of the best filler-foliage plants you can grow and a flower arrangers dream.
Ammi Casablance is easy to grow and adds a delicate airiness to any sunny or partially shaded border.
Caution: The sap from these plants can irritate the skin and may cause blistering when exposed to the sun.
Have another blooming day and thank you for your comments, M, (*_*)

Mi modesto homenaje al gran compositor español
JOAQUÍN RODRIGO,
que se inspiró en el ambiente percibido en estos maravillosos jardines
-él era ciego-
para escribir una de sus más célebres obras:
"El Concierto de Aranjuez"
Un an plus tard, en 1964, c’est l’ouverture au public du Musée de l’imprimerie et de la banque, dirigé jusqu’en 1975 par Maurice Audin, maître-imprimeur et spécialiste lyonnais de l’imprimerie, avec le concours d’André Jammes, librairie Paul Jammes à Paris, et d’Henri-Jean Martin, conservateur en chef des bibliothèques de Lyon.La création d’un tel musée à Lyon se justifiait par l’importance de la ville comme centre de production et de commerce de livres aux XVème et XIXème siècles. Les collections concernant la banque étant restées très modestes, la salle de la Banque est supprimée dans les années 1990.
One of our most elegant breeding shorebirds, the Black-necked Stilt arrives in modest numbers each spring. For years after moving here I didn't see them; I just needed to find out where to look.
This location is a short hike from a parking area off an unpaved grid road (impassable when wet). In a shallow bay of a large lake, I lay flat on damp, pebbly shore, and photographed stilts, avocets, godwits, willets, phalaropes, spotted sandpipers, and more. I wish the water had been not quite so deep here, so we could see this bird's amazingly long legs. Nevertheless, the eye level view and decent light make this one a keeper - a shot that only four years ago seemed out of reach.

Recently I studied the work of Werner Mantz who predates the New Topographics photographers back to the 1920's. His approach toward image making was quite similar to the NT movement of the 1970's, but more towards 'art'.
reference: Werner Mantz; Bridge 1929
Bridge in Cologne 1927
In post editing I tried to emulate his development style and lean to a warmer monochrome with heavier shadows. An analog shot with a modest yellow/green filter would have brought out the clouds better and made a much nicer image.
The reason I decided not to stand directly in the center of the road was because I did not want the emphasis to be on perspective, but rather the form of the bridge.
Bask in the tranquil beauty of a Malay village bathed in the warm glow of dawn. Rolling hills and lush greenery meet the golden horizon, while modest homes rest peacefully amidst the serene landscape. This photograph captures the timeless charm and quiet simplicity of rural life in Malaysia.

La chute Ouiatchouan, d'une hauteur de 72 mètres, se jette près du moulin à pulpe.
En langue innue, Ouiatchouan signifie « rapides au bouillon blanc ».
Et puis, sans fausse modestie, l'impressionnante chute de Val-Jalbert dépasse d’une hauteur de 20 mètres sa collègue de Niagara!
