France

Now Travel through France on NHK TV from 16th.
I'll carry on this blog about my sketches again.

This is a view from Montparnasse.
From left hand, Basilique du Sacre-Coeur, Musse du Louvre,
Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Paris and DuGoall Airport far beyond.


Seine Riverside Heritage.
Notre Dame on Cite and Seine Riv.


This was made August 2002 just.

The old work

This is Koma River.
I often went to there for bird watching.

The old work

This drawing was made 21years ago.
When I look it, a good old memory rushed into my mind.

Insect

The bottom imago waits for all to appear and comes out!
So. The imago which emerged seems to wait for a few days until other cocoon are appearing.
And, he passes through the side of a cocoon of an upper small room and goes to the top when he cannot wait it. Ⅱ
When it is other kinds, and a cocoon of an upper small room is dead, he eats away the cocoon and advances to the top.
And it is the worst and when he cannot go to the top (the thing which is hard on a ceiling, strongly closed ceiling), he open a hole out of necessity on a wall beside a small room and go out. Ⅱ'

He advance to the upper part even if he invert a stem of a raspberry and go out. Ⅲ
They advance somehow towards the top and go out.

Then how do you become it in the case of stability? （Fabre took a direction of a cocoon to pieces）They are divided into right and left equally and go out. Ⅴ 　Ⅵ
（Fabre collected a cocoon of ミツバツツハナバチ and put a cocoon in tube of glass and Fabre made a small room and observed it and tested it）

It is a necessary experiment of perseverance!
I do remaked based on a cut and an explanation and color it.

Germany 30

I went from Heidelberg to Frankfurt and went to Narita, connection at DeGaulle,Paris.
A German trip is over in this.

Germany 29

I drew this on two leaves of a sketchbook.
A crossing by the hotel where I stayed at in Heidelberg.

Insect

Now I had to get an information that a insect of "Germany 29" is Cetonia aurata　(KINIRO-HANAMUGURI).

Insect

Oxycetonia　jucunda (KOAO-HANAMUGURI)
This insect was watched at Phyrosopher's way, Heidelberg.

This insect resembles KANABUN, but is smaller than it.
Cilia grow in the whole.
As for the Japanese kind, a color is dark, but this does bright green

A ｌife style of an insect

A story of an insect.
This is a nest of Hoplitis tridentata（MITSUBA-TUTU-HANABACHI).
These bees make plural small room in a stem of a raspberry and save honey and pollen paste there and lay one egg on the paste.
A small room is made from a bottom sequentially towards the top.
Of course a bottom's egg is the oldest, and the top is the newest.
Therefore, as for the metamorphosis to a chrysalis, as for the metamorphosis to an imago, a bottom's room is early.

I drew it on a figure. It changes from Ⅰ into Ⅳ.
What kind of method will the bottom imago go out by?


The method and experiment are written down to a description of Fabre insect (Souvenirs Entomologiques) in detail.

I am interested in this book very much.

Germany 38

This is a view from Philosophenweg.
The philosopher who learned it in Heidelberg thought on this path and would look at this scenery.

River is Necker, Bridge is Karl-Theodor-Brucke, biggest tower is Heiliggeist Kirches (church) and Castl is Heiderbergger Schloss in Mountain.
