I Bit My Inner Lip What Do I Do

LOTS flooding on the Atlantic coast

February 28, the combined effect of wind and high tide caused flooding very important (and a hundred deaths) especially in the Vendée and Charente Maritime.
The level of the Loire has also mounted a lot which caused the flooding of the marshes near Nantes (2-3 meters longer than usual).

Two weeks later, the flooded marshes are a paradise for birds : shelducks, swans, storks, herons, ibis, goldfinches, .... because these marshes have dried up part of the year to allow cows to feed. Farmers want
drain swamps and flood the hunters, but nature does what she wants!

Who Is Cereal Market Leader

waterfall in the middle of Tahiti Tahiti


A waterfall and pond located in the heart of volcano of Tahiti. It seems that the color turquoise is due to the presence of micro-algae! The rocks around are phonolites, less rich in silica than basalt!
This place called "Maroto" will be (hopefully) a trip with my 4th for geological study the volcanic landscapes!

Other interest: to study the classification of flowering plants in the Comparing with Hibiscus tiliaceus, Hibiscus tree version, which are in majority, bushy!
