Yes it's bluebell season and as I've still not managed to get to the woods, this one was captured in our garden a short while ago
I wasn't quite sure what the difference between the two species was, so I did a little research. It appears we have the invaders.
The native ones have a much longer, thin tube-like shape and as you can see, this is the invader. Still pretty in shape and colour but strangely proved to be rather difficult to get an image I was fairly happy with
A fairly soft focus again, gave me that dreamy feel I like with flower images
Alien invader, thats what I thought at first when I saw them on our maple stump laying their eggs, 3 inches long needle probing into wood was all new to me,
This is the most amazing part of the process, as the last two segments of her abdomen separate and a taut membrane between them provides the force to drive the oviposito, the straight part seen between her middle legs into solid wood.

Porto is the second-largest city in Portugal after Lisbon and one of the major urban areas of the Iberian Peninsula. It's a coastal city in northwest Portugal known for its stately bridges and port wine production. In the medieval Ribeira (riverside) district, narrow cobbled streets wind past merchants’ houses and cafes.
The tree saw itself and felt empowered
It heard about the genocide
Of friends and family in the forest
Just to build something for humans
Sturdy and trustworthy
These same beings
Didn’t care about the desolation and loss
The depression they inflicted
Forgotten in every day moments of
Work work work and a little bit of video
Meanwhile, the forest was stripped bare
Until the haunting and day of revenge
I’ll show you what it is like when the outside
Breaks in
Branches will shatter dishes
Scratch up your floors
Shred your clothes
Invade your cupboards
Leaves make linoleum treacherous
And then you will see
Who is truly endangered
And who is still filled with might
This tree will outlive you
And your children and children’s children
You cannot kill a tree
With a mere axe or saw
(That handle may even an accomplice and forest friend)
You cannot murder the collective consciousness of nature
It will instead invade your home and imagination.

A Crested Caracara perched on a fence post along CR 621 in Highlands County, Florida. A Turkey Vulture was perched on the next fence post.
While I was taking pictures, I began to be aware of a cacophony of noise growing louder and louder across the road. When I looked up, there was a huge herd of seemingly angry cows slowly making their way towards me, all mooing. They finally stopped near their barbed wire fence, adults and calves alike, and just stared at me. They must have considered me an invader in their territory. It was an interesting experience to say the least.

La Butte-aux-Cailles est aujourd’hui un haut lieu du street art. Son ambiance de « village dans la ville », avec ses rues pavées et ses murs propices à l’expression artistique, attire depuis les années 1980 de nombreux artistes urbains. Des figures comme Miss.Tic, Invader ou Seth y ont laissé leur empreinte, contribuant à en faire un lieu emblématique.
La Butte aux Cailles tire son nom de Pierre Caille, qui en fait l'acquisition en 1543. On y trouvait des moulins sur les hauteurs et des tanneries, des teintureries, des blanchisseries plus bas, le long de la Bièvre. Le quartier était autrefois insalubre mais depuis la Bièvre a été canalisée et enfouie pour faire partie de Paris.
Le quartier a aussi une histoire militante héritée notamment de la Commune de Paris en 1871, durant laquelle le quartier fut un bastion des insurgés.
Des associations comme Lézarts de la Bièvre jouent un rôle important en protégeant certaines œuvres, en les signalant pour éviter leur effacement. Les œuvres sont souvent éphémères et sont remplacées au bout de quelques semaines ou quelques mois. Grâce à cette dynamique, le street art y est partiellement toléré, bien qu’il reste techniquement interdit. Ce mélange d’histoire, de créativité et de tolérance attire aussi les touristes et les passionnés, faisant de la Butte-aux-Cailles un véritable musée à ciel ouvert, en perpétuelle évolution.

La Butte-aux-Cailles is today a mecca of street art. Its "village in the city" atmosphere, with its cobbled streets and walls conducive to artistic expression, has attracted many urban artists since the 1980s. Figures like Miss.Tic, Invader or Seth have left their mark on it, contributing to making it an iconic place.
La Butte aux Cailles takes its name from Pierre Caille, who acquired it in 1543. There were mills on the heights and tanneries, dyeing factories, laundries lower down, along the Bièvre. The neighborhood was once unsanitary but since then the Bièvre has been channeled and buried to become part of Paris.
The neighborhood also has a militant history inherited notably from the Paris Commune in 1871, during which the neighborhood was a stronghold of insurgents.
Associations like Lézarts de la Bièvre play an important role in protecting certain works, by signaling them to avoid their erasure. The works are often ephemeral and are replaced after a few weeks or months. Thanks to this dynamic, street art is partially tolerated, although it remains technically prohibited. This mix of history, creativity and tolerance also attracts tourists and enthusiasts, making the Butte-aux-Cailles a real open-air museum, in perpetual evolution

A photo tribute to the Italian comic strip Nathan Never, and its universe of characters.
In the photo, the characters look (not a perfect reproduction) like Nathan Never and May Frayin, the charming agent, painted perfectly by Light Sequent for the occasion.
The photo depicts an invasion in a spaceship, a classic theme in Nathan Never comics.
The soundtrack is only the pretext for the title of the picture.
I hope you like it!
Might be aliens invading somewhere, just not here at home. This is the tool box on my husbands truck.
To our amazement the local Starlings invaded our small garden while we were both sitting on the lawn :-) A female came too close to focus with my 500pf
Early morning "moonset" at the Buckeye Municipal Airport. The first rays of morning light warm the face of this Douglas A-26B/B-26B Invader. While it has seen better days, it still has character. Unfortunately, the local pigeon population has not been kind to this old warrior.

As much as I hate living next to this bamboo jungle.... it does make for an interesting image every now and then.... but still not worth all the cursing and back braking work when it does invade my property!!!
This image does not do this jungle justice.... it is so dense and reaches across his entire property line... and stands at least 30-35' tall!!!
Invading Japanese Beetles are covering the slowly blooming Hibiscus bushes at the park. Very shallow DOF. Have them in other areas, as well. Always some but they are everywhere, filling the inner blooms on some. Tried to get photos of a bee in another bloom but didn't turn out well. That bloom was totally wilted later. Hoping for more blooms and bees soon. Very hot and not much rain recently so not sure how they will do this year.
This is the coolest mug. A good friend got me this as a gift (thanks Dawn! *hugs!* Love ya!) Basically, it's a plain black space-themed mug with no invaders...when it's at room temperature. When you add hot liquid, invaders appear! As above. I had just poured a bunch of hot water in and the invaders appeared, how cool is that?! I'm such a geek. ^_^

Operation Barbarossa started on June 22nd, 1941, with the Germans rapidly invading the Soviet Union and decimating Soviet forces in virtually every battle. Hitler's plan was to conquer Eastern Europe for future German colonization called "Lebensraum". Ukraine was especially desired since at the time it was the breadbasket of Europe. When the Germans were conquering the Soviet Union, the Ukrainians and other peoples welcomed them as heroes because of the fact they "freed" them from communist oppression. The Holodomor was fresh in the average Ukrainians memory which was an artificial famine that killed millions and they were still resentful towards Stalin.
Two groups that wanted to take advantage of this moment was the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) which was into Italian fascism, was led by Andriy Melnik and the younger more violent OUN-B, was National Socialist which was led by Stepan Bandera. They originally existed because they were angry that Poland was "occupying" the province of Galicia which is claimed by both Poles and Ukrainians (even to this day).
However, the Ukrainians would learn that the Nazis were replacing one form of oppression with another. Hitler hated Slavic peoples and wanted them enslaved, "transferred" (possibly to Siberia) or at worst exterminated. When the OUN declared an independent Ukrainian state, that was shut down as quickly as possible. The Nazis committed atrocities against the Ukrainians which soon led to the growth of more partisan groups and led to some joining the Soviet army by the time they started "liberating" it from the Nazis.
In a last ditch effort, the Nazis freed imprisoned Ukrainian nationalist leader, Stepan Bandera to inspire the Ukrainians but that ultimately failed. Even during his imprisonment all the OUN-B did was mass murder Poles in the provinces of Galicia and Volhynia. Today he's seen as a controversial figure as he is popular in Western Ukraine which is full of Catholic Ukrainians and hated in Eastern Ukraine which is full of Orthodox Russians.

The mountain at Vesturhorn is one of Iceland’s few Gabbro rock mountains. Dating back 8-11M years, the site was used by the first settlers (Irish) before they were enslaved by Viking invaders (c.860).
