Within just a few hours of the first pods landing in remote areas, the invading machines that emerged managed to advance on nearly every major industrial area on Earth.
An interesting tourist trap in Roswell, New Mexico where aliens have established themselves. They're peaceful as long as you buy something in the store!

Happy Flare Friday!
Bindweed is dreadfully invasive and a menace on my allotment and in my front garden, however, the flowers are pretty and attract the bees.
"Invasion of the Body Snatchers"
I can see Donald Sutherland running through the streets now.......screaming!!!
Let me know if you've seen this 1978 movie.
So many wires! They go with the vintage look of Deep Ellum (Dallas, TX) and the old and restored automobiles seem so natural in this scene.

My Gladiator at the 2025 Pigeon Forge Jeep Invasion.
I’ve never seen so many Jeeps in one place!
The Jeep Invasion in Pigeon Forge, TN, is an annual event celebrating Jeep enthusiasts, featuring a large expo with vendors, a Jeep show, and various activities.
A World War II-era C-47 named "That's All Brother" painted with invasion stripes on the underside of the wings and on the fuselage. The U.S., the U.K., and their allies painted these stripes on their airplanes in preparation for the Normandy invasion in 1944 in order to minimize getting shot at by friendly fire, thinking that with so many soldiers from so many different countries they might not recognize their allies' aircraft. Militaries around the world still follow similar practices today.

An invasive species, the iguana is now such a common sight that one can hardly go anywhere without sighting one. This big boy basking in the sunlight was a good five feet or more from nose to tail. Currently with a booming population which has fully recovered from the freeze that decimated their numbers a few years ago.
Remember that morning when you were just 5 years old, you blew up all the bubbles in the drink at the breakfast table. And your mom said to you "Stop it!".
You didn't tell her that you were trying to make an art out of it.
30 years after, you do the same and show it to your friend. You also tell him you are making an art. He says to you. Forget it. This is not art. They are just random bubbles.
And you decide to take a shot and save it for yourself. And tell nobody from that time on and forever.
I wish you enjoy the story and the last day of 2014!!
Happy Wednesday! Happy New Year!!
At least they are mostly all dead now so my Hibiscus have had a few uneaten flowers.Where this was shot the darn things ate every leaf off of the American Basswood tree and most of the buds from the Rose of Sharon and Hibiscus before they got to open.
it was cool to see a flock of white ibis (a rare visitor in Cape May) circling the pond. For a minute it looked like they would land, but I think the presence of so many swans put them off and they never actually settled on the water, choosing instead to head off to a quieter spot.
As beautiful as the mute swans are, the sad truth is they simply do not belong here in Cape May.
They're considered an invasive species.
A few individuals were brought over from Europe in the late 1800's, early 1900's up in New England and New York, to grace the ponds of the rich and public parks. The practice was to keep their wings clipped so they couldn't fly far, but a few crafty birds were able to escape and naturalize. Little by little they've worked their way down to the Cape May area.
Now Cape May has a large, year round population.
The problem is they are aggressive. They are pushing out the native species of water foul and they devour a lot of the available food that is critical for other water birds.
Perhaps the Queen should come over here and collect her birds!!
(all the wild mute swans in Great Britain belong to Queen Elizabeth)

Last of the invasion photos (promise) taken with my friend Dan in his studio.
Is this the Red-eared Slider Turtle an invasive species that is out competing the native turtle? I cannot see the red strip on the side of the head so I am unsure.
2015 Invasion Classic Car Show - This's the 8th show taken in Deep Ellum on the east side of Dallas, Texas.
Invasive species, Birdsfoot Trefoil (Lotus corniculatus) found in Seminary Fen Scientific & Natural Area in Chanhassen/Chaska, Minnesota. These grow all over along the roads in Minnesota.
This was originally the site of the Mudcura Sanitarium, a world-famous spa that was opened in 1909 and operated until 1951.
Per MNOpedia, in 1951, the sanitarium was sold to the Black Franciscans, Order of Friars Minor Conventual, from Louisville, Kentucky. They named it Assumption Seminary and the site became linked with both the Colleges of St. Catherine and St. Thomas in St. Paul.
The Seminary remained in operation until 1970 and then sat vacant for many years, becoming a popular hangout for teens and other thrill seekers. The main building burned and was demolished in 1997.
The land is now home to a Minnesota DNR Scientific & Natural Area that protects the rare calcareous fen that is now the star of the show here.

Waves of geese fleeting from the north. To be honest, I don't miss these noisy bastards - welcome autumn
It was sort of surreal seeing these clouds. They hung very low in the sky and they moved very slowly.
It was quite calm moments before we were hit with a hard wind and sheeting rain that lasted about 15-20 minutes. Afterwards, the wind vanished and it was eerily calm again. And then, these clouds floated silently overhead.
