Tableaux de Normandie | Andrée Lebel | France Jusqu'à la fin du mois de septembre, le festival Normandie impressionniste célèbre la contribution des peintres de la lumière à l'évolution de l'art. Plusieurs expositions, des bals populaires et des déjeuners sur l'herbe sont au programme. Les vitrines des magasins prennent les teintes des oeuvres de Monet tandis que les chefs s'inspirent des recettes du peintre pour concocter des menus tout en finesse. Une centaine de villes et villages de Normandie, situés à proximité les uns des autres, participent à cette grande fête multidisciplinaire. Au-delà du festival, il y a le charme tranquille de la région avec les vaches assoupies sous les pommiers, les nombreuses plages et les magnifiques ciels humides, qui ressemblent étrangement à ceux des toiles peintes dans la région. Voici les principales étapes d'un parcours impressionnant. Honfleur Le berceau de l'impressionnisme En arrivant à Honfleur, j'ai immédiatement retrouvé l'ambiance des tableaux impressionnistes.

Symbiotic Relationships in the Rain Forest Because the rain forest is a very diverse habitat, it contains many different species of plants and animals in close proximity to each other. These species often have complex relationships, many of which are beneficial to the participants. Such relationships are called symbiotic or mutualistic. In mutualism examples, mammals, birds, reptiles and insects may interact with plants and with each other to help with food, reproduction or to protect against predators. TL;DR (Too Long; Didn't Read) Symbiotic relationships in the rainforest are interactions between species in which the partners benefit. Types of Symbiotic Relationships Many symbiotic relationships in the rainforest are broad, across several species, such as when insects pollinate plants and get pollen or nectar as food in return. Some organisms rely on several different relationships with different species, receiving and producing benefits in each one. Examples of Mutualism in Tropical Rainforest Ecosystems
