Landscape of Baie de Cavalière, with Cap Nègre in the background :
Can you see a butterfly in the picture below ? ----> It's a Faune (Hipparchia statilinus femelle) hidden on a wood branch of the same color, encountered in the forest of Cavalière ...

A beautifull and colorfull dragonfly : a "Sympétrum à nervures rouges" (S. fonscolombii) resting on a branch or waiting for a pray :

Another fantastic view, from Cavalière towards Cap Nègre, at midday time :

and a female (adult) of "Caloptéryx méditerranéen" (Calopteryx hemorroïdalis) under the sun :

...and recently we had a new guest in the garden (I had sowed seeds of fennel to see if ever a Machaon would come and lay some eggs, and she did it !) : a pretty caterpillar of Papilio machaon , summer generation ( 80 à 90mm wide) , has just appeared : It should give us in a few weeks one of the finest butterflies of France :
caterpillar at 3rd step, 35 à 40 mm log, climbing a stem of fennel :

and it has a strong appetite !

the future butterfly (history not known) should look like (see la galerie papillons of the site, for more pictures) :

Nareva Nature (www.nareva.info) is a personal multi(4)-subjects web site orientated towards Nature and Art :
Nareva Nature Gallery proposes a regularly evoluating exposition of watercolors, poster paints and oil paintings of landscapes , animals, and flowers ... realised by non-professional artists (family & friends), ( they will be transfered finally to a new web site "Nareva.net" )
(beeing translated, 2 february 2010)
and exposition of several photo albums of my best shots (it's only my advice... what do you think of them ?) (9 albums up to now, for a 430 pictures total): Subjects of these pictures albums : Mountain Flowers , Seaside or Alps Landscapes I found worth to shot..., Alps & Estérel Butterflies, (presented/sorted by families or by main colors) , Alps & Riviera's Solar Clocks , a gallery on the French Navy Escort Vessel ASW GUEPRATTE (on which I served as a detector officer a long time ago, a submarine hunter) , a pictures gallery about a beautiful Savoy village,Combloux ( Haute Savoie) in summertime, une galerie de photos "insolites" (remarquables ou énigmatique, ...), une galerie photo dédiée aux roses du jardin, et une autre centrée sur le bassin : grenouilles , nénuphars, libellules, héron, couleuvre(s), poissons rouges , etc ...
Second Topic : The Rain which falls every month in Vence town (Alpes-Maritimes, altitude 1000 feet, located between Nice, Grasse and Cannes) , in Valbonne-Mougins-Mouans Sartoux , Saint Cézaire-sur-Siagne, and CARROS-Village , 4 places of Alpes-Maritimes, figures updated usually before the 10th of the following month.
Third Topic of my Natural site : SONAR 's mysteries & simple tips about underwater acoustic propagation are evocated & explained , with sounds and pictures to illustrate the pages, in a simple and all public text. Several pages concern SONAR detection principles, books available on the subject, questions received by the net and their answers, and a full explaination on SONAR equation + in preparation : ... SONAR's history bientôt synthétisée , + voir les autres projets sur ce thème de l'acoustique sous-marine, du sonar, des romans de sous-marins, et de la simulation sur PC de sous-marins, bâtiments de surface ASM, hélicoptères dotés de sonars actifs sur treuils ultra-rapides, d'avions de lutte ASM équipés de bouées actives ou passives commandables, etc... évolution permanente de cette partie du site, selon mon temps disponible pour cela... !
Flags (DRAPODOU Flag Visual Recognition Software) Je lui ai ajouté le programme DRAPODOU (4ème volet du site) qui permet, par une description des couleurs d'un drapeau que l'on vient de voir, description faite en cliquant sur les boutons d'un formulaire HTML (+ leur disposition en bandes H ou V, les étoiles, etc....) , de trouver rapidement de quel pays il s'agit (ou région, ville ou village de France, ou d'un autre pays, selon le cas). A essayer sans modération, c'est instructif (capitale et pays voisins décrits) et divertissant !
en plus de ces 4 parties principales, une page "Téléchargements" permet de télécharger un très beau DIAPORAMA sonorisé sur les PAPILLONS que j'ai photographiés les étés derniers , ainsi qu' un second diaporama sur les ANNAQUARELLES , très belles aquarelles peintes à Vence par une artiste amateur associée à ce site (A.H.D.).
On accède à toutes ces pages à partir du portail graphique général du site Nareva en cliquant simplement sur les zones correspondantes.
