Campaniolus

ou "petit produit des campagnes", selon l'origine du mot "champignon"en latin populaire


Ici, curieux produit  d'un genre  nouveau: violet à pois roses ...

Ce n'est pas dans la forêt que poussent ces amanites tue-mouche...

mais sur la pelouse de mon jardin...
                                     ...     provoquant la perplexité
                                                                                      du nain  qui s'y promène...

"C" is for "Cherbourg"(2)

Two mail arts of mine about this town

*Cherbourg"la fortification du marais"
Probablement du mot scandinave" Borg", "fortification", précédé du mot scandinave"Kjarr", marais. Allusion aux marais et aux divagations du Trottebec, entre Cherbourg et Tourlaville.
Avant l'arrivée des Vikings, cette cité portait le nom gaulois de "coriallum", attesté au IV ème siècle et dont le sens était sans doute le même que celui de Cherbourg.

"C"is for '"Cherbourg"(1)

La Gare maritime

"C" for "Cannes"Croisette"," cinéma"

On Holidays.

In 1834, Cannes was just a little fishport discovered by chance by lord Brougham . This diplomat had to travel to Nice but he could not pass the transalpine frontier because of the Cholera. So he came back and stayed at Cannes. He enjoyed this place so that he built there a house, then he spent each winter , followed by the english gentry .Thus, Cannes became a smart and famous city well known for the international festival of Cinéma. Decorated walls recall famous movies. La Croisette -The name of this famous avenue comes from a little cross which stood at the end of the littoral path.
You can see and use Chairs and arm- chairs .
You can admire the hands of celebrities printed in the cement.(click )

"C"for "Cloud" ABC -Wednesday round 2

Arnold lobel wrote a tale in which a young mouse sees funny or stranges chapes in a cloudy sky...
(Could you tell me if you see somethig else than white clouds in this photo ??)

Baudelaire, a famous poet, praises the beauty of clouds which make him dream and bring to him some freedom:"J'aime les nuages, les merveilleux nuages..."

Cumulus, cirrus, cumulo nimbus have so fantastic shapes !
Don't you imagine in this blue sky a marble God's bust?

Examine this picture:
Fantasy?No reality, of course!A
God seen by a lunatic or a poet? No, a mere statue created by one of the sculptors of Cerisy-la -Forêt!
However, its colour and material look like clouds!

In the square of Trouville (Calvados, France) the statue of Gustave Flaubert illustrates this idiomatic expression:
"to have one's head in the clouds"
