Daoulas - Wasps Bees Hornets

Dear Friends
I have to say that wasps, bees and hornets were very presents in the Jardin des Simples of the Abbey of Daoulas. Although normally the people fear these insects, they are not particularly dangerous. They attend careully to their job and do not care of the people. Their presence is a sign of good and healty plants and environment. If you are interested, please provide me with our feedback.

Daoulas - Un nouveau jardin

Dear Friends
I had the pleasure to see that the Jardin des Simples, the botanic garden of the Abbey of Daoulas was this year more coloured than in the past. The reason for this is that the garden has been renovated and enlarged and hosts now much more plant essences producing sometime very magnificent flowers. The following images give you an impression of the improvement of the garden. In case of interest, please tell me your opinion. More information about the garden of the Abbey at:

Tous des sauvages

Dear Friends
also this year I was the Abbey of Daoulas in the Finistère (FR).a place I love for its tranquility. This time I was there for visiting the exhibition: Tous des sauvages ! Regards sur la différence. The exhibition presents artifacts of different cultures of all over the world, both recent and ancient. The message the exhibition tries to transmit, in my opinion, is to have a look to the cultures different from our own without fear, possibly for enriching our own culture.
Please, have alook to the images and tell me your opinion. More info about the Abbey and the exhibition at:

Butterlies

Dear Frinds
i walking on the bord of he sea at Dinard, my attention was attracted by a rose bush teeming with life. In looking more close and acurtely I realise that the movemnt of the bush was caused by a colony of butterflies also of  different specises. Surprisingly it was the only one bush so living I see during all my exursion. I propose the butterflies as center of interest for our M.Polo Club. Also with an inexpensive digital camera, as that I use, you can you too record superb butterflies images.

Journée de la Pêche - disappeared professions

Dear Friends
as last year ( see this blog: http://m-polo.blogspot.de/2012/08/disappeared-professions.html ) also this year on the Plage de l'Ecluse beach in front of Dinard senior fishermen presented the Journée de la Pêche a re-evocation of their fishing to cods on the Banks of Newfounfland. This year the re-evocation taken a longer time and much more information about this kind of fishing and the manual conditioning of the cods was offered to the public, which manifested serious interest.. From my side it was a unique occasion to interrogate some of them about the problems of atmospheric waming and fishing.In principle, they explained, for cod fishing the atmospheric warming is not a problem. On the contrary, it allows fishing in unexplored places no longer covered by ice. This permitted the capture of bigger cods than in the recent past. The real problem is that such bigger cods do not enter the automatic devices for their conditioning and their manual conditioning needs experienced fishermen that is not easy to find, expecially among the juniors.In any case they remain confident in the revival of the cod fishing.

Dinard - itself

Dear friends
at the Tourist Center in Dinard, Dinard presents itself though the visions of artists fans of it. The town, born at the beginning of the last century as place of rest and escape for reach persons and families, preserves many villas, now awarded to the French national heritage, which delineate its unmistakable appearance.
