Petit gravelot

[philoursmars]

l y a 3 semaines, je suis allé à Calais avec un copain, Philippe.

Sur la jetée du Port, de nombreux Gravelots, pas du tout farouches, des Mouettes et un Cormoran.

Affront to Decorum

“After I crush the competition at the Captain's Test, shall we go on a cruise around the world, Edgar?”

“You're really full of yourself. It's not like Edgar's said anything yet, or that you're guaranteed to ace the Test.”

Few of the youth on Tristan Island liked Sonia to begin with, as she liked to throw her weight around. Not to mention her habit of muscling her way to the front of a group.

A Game of Quadrille

[art-portraits]

Mr. and Mrs. John Gravenor and their Daughters, Elizabeth and Ann

Artist: Thomas Gainsborough (British, 1727–1788

Title: The Gravenor Family

Date: 1754

Medium: Oil on Canvas

Collection: Yale Center for British Art, New Haven, CT, United States

Description

After training with Hubert-François Gravelot, Francis Hayman, and George Lambert in London, Thomas Gainsborough returned to Suffolk and established himself as a portrait and landscape painter in the provincial port town of Ipswich. He introduced his clientele, which included local gentry and professionals, to the fashion for conversation pieces in the latest French style. Here he presents John Gravenor, a local apothecary and politician, Gravenor’s wife, Ann, and their two daughters in a productive country landscape. They sit beneath two trees at the edge of a cornfield, the interwoven trunks suggesting marital harmony and the corn representing the blessings of a fertile union.

« Certains sont piétinés… » Attention aux œufs (invisibles) pondus sur les plages

Certains oiseaux marins, comme le gravelot à collier interrompu, pondent directement sur le sable. Avec le risque de se faire piétiner par les promeneurs, alertent les autorités

Grands gravelots

[philoursmars]

Deuxième étape de mon périple dans l'Ouest pour retrouver des ami(e)s lointain(e)s , Brigitte et Sylviane à La Rochelle. Ce jour-là, elles me font découvrir la charmante île de Ré.

Saint-Clément-des-Baleines. Des bernaches cravant en vol ou broutant des algues sur la digue, accompagnées de quelques goélands (sur la 8), et des gravelots sur la ligne de l'écume (sur la 5 et la 9).

Hazing on Happy Halibut

“Gimme back my cap!” “Why should I? You're more like a hapless halibut than anything else!” “It's a gift! I can't lose it! I'm supposed to keep it safe!”

Sonia didn't like how Purpure turned up under old Lucinda's wing one day and took to picking on her ever since.

Graviers vivants 2/3

Place de Grève et l'Hôtel de Ville en 1583 - Composition rétrospective, 1867 - Hoffbauer, Fédor , Dessinateur - Musée Carnavalet, Histoire de Paris

La conférence de Jean-Louis Michelot "Voyage d'un gravier" évoque finalement poétiquement et étymologiquement la capacité du Rhône à faire grève… mis au travail au travail forcé, il retrouverait ses grèves et graviers, et les petits gravelots venant y cacher leurs œufs.
