The wood duck (German: Brautente) is not a native European bird, its natural range is North America. A few specimens have found their way into German wildlife, howsoever.
Actually, as with many animals, this colorful specimen is not the bride ("Braut") but the groom ("Bräutigam") 😄
originally found in Oregon by the Lewis and Clark Expidition, these little flowers are in gardens worldwide.
5 photos stitched from the deep water harbor in Port-Venderes in the South of France.
Today the harbor is still having some fishing ships as they always have had.
For some years ago it was central for shipping men and equipment between France and Algeire.
Before that it was the last stop for the big ships going from Marseille via Port-Vendres with immigrants to the attractive USA (for sure a pre Trump period).
Some "barrels" problem with the lines here - but still a good view to this small maritim village.
Byodo-In Temple, a nondenominational Buddhist temple, located on O'aha in the Valley of the Temples Memorial Park, and dedicated in August 1968 to celebrate the 100th anniversity of the first Japanese immigrants to Hawaii.
This handsome young man walked up as I was on the jungle gym with my son. He stared intently into the lens of my medium format Bronica ETRSi and waited for me to take his photo. After I did, he walked away, happy. Not a word was exchanged!
His father later told me that he was an immigrant from, if I recall correctly, Senegal, and that he had just arrived the day before and does not speak any English.

We come from the land of the ice and snow. From the midnight sun, where the hot springs flow. The hammer of the gods. We'll drive our ships to new lands to fight the horde and sing and cry: Valhalla, I am coming!🎶.

Spine of Stein's "Making of Americans"
Done for Macro Mondays "white, red and blue" theme.
This book was begun the year Stein sat for Picasso eighty to ninety times for her portrait and finished three years later. It was not published for 17 years, and when it was it had a profound impact on the literary world. It is about three generations of an immigrant family and so much more . . .
The Blackbird, an immigrant, knows that spring blooms not by calendar, but by feeling and in Australia, it’s September...

Rhododendron sp.
“Rhododendron is a very large genus of about 1,024 species of woody plants in the heath family. They can be either evergreen or deciduous. Most species are native to eastern Asia and the Himalayan region, but smaller numbers occur elsewhere in Asia, and in North America, Europe and Australia.”

“About” the tenth power of two? Just passing along the text, not judging. Canada seems to have achieved peace and respect among its immigrant populations, now working hard on extending that to indigenous people.
Plants don’t care. This one seems happy to be here.
Before Phuket became known for its beach and oceanside resorts, Phuket thrived in the 17th century for its wealth in tin, which attracted interest from European and Chinese traders. The Chinese, particularly from Fujian province, immigrated to Phuket to work in tin mining.
Our guide, a deeply spiritual Buddhist lady told us that Old Phuket Town, as seen in this picture, has been preserved and renovated by the government. Its historical and architectural development was shaped by Chinese and European influences. Previously, it was a hub for the tin mining and rubber industries. The town was built by Chinese businessmen, particularly Hokkien immigrants who settled in Phuket, along with traders and investors from Singapore, Malaysia, and Europe. Together, they helped establish businesses, including tin smelting factories, rubber plantations, and trading hubs. Over time, Phuket evolved into a major tourist destination.

Thank you for the taking the time to visit, "fave" or comment, it's extremely kind of you! :-)
Nymphalis antiopa
Here in the UK this rare migrant is called the Camberwell Beauty, whereas in the USA and Europe it's called the Mourning Cloak.
(here) named after Camberwell in south-east London, where the first two specimens were seen in 1748, most sightings of the beautiful Camberwell Beauty now are from eastern England. However in good years, when large numbers of immigrants appear from Scandinavia, records may come from throughout Britain and Ireland.
It has to be said that a number of sightings have been recorded locally where it is known to be captive bred and most likely an escapee or release? It is still a stunning butterfly!
I am fortunate enough to live near a herd (or "fold" as they say back in Scotland) of Highland cattle, a "Scottish breed of rustic cattle."
"It originated in the Scottish Highlands and the Western Islands of Scotland and has long horns and a long shaggy coat. It is a hardy breed, able to withstand the intemperate conditions in the region."

Thank you for visiting.
Like many of the diverse immigrants who lend a collectively unique quality to Hawaii, this Zulu Giant (Stapelia gigantea)—a succulent plant native to southeastern Africa—is thriving alongside Hunakai Street in Honolulu's Kahala neighborhood. It is sometimes called a carrion plant because its large flower emits a faint carrion odor, which attracts the insects that pollinate it. January 21, 2018
Halsbandsittich (Psittacula krameri manillensis) in Cologne
As a new citizen (neozoon) who was able to build up holdings of captive refugees, he is increasingly to be found in urban areas of the northern Mediterranean countries as a cultural successor. Alexander the Great brought him from Asia to Greece more than 2300 years ago, hence the name "Alexander Parakeet"
Early on Sunday morning hundreds of members of the Greek police force raided an unofficial refugee camp in the Greek port of Patras as part of a nationwide 'clean sweep" operation. The camp which has been in existence for nearly a decade was home to hundreds of immigrants, mainly from Afghanistan hoping to sneak aboard trucks headed for Italy.
See here for BBC footage. www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0OFotZdKC4
Using bulldozers the local authorities razed to the ground the shacks and huts that until recently housed an estimated 150 people. Several fires were reported as a result of the raid and according to official police sources 44 minors were detained along with 30 adults who will be held in a reception centre until they are deported. The raid has been criticised as "inhuman" and called a "pogrom" by the left wing SYRIZA party and the Greek Communist party.
The ruling New Democracy party has also announced that it will set up internment camps throughout the country to house those who do not have a legal right to stay in the country. It should be noted that at present Greece grants asylum to 0.1% of those who apply for it and has been repeatedly criticised by Amnesty International, other European governments and the UNHCR for its treatment of refugees and immigrants.
On the other hand the latest poll carried out by Public Issue found that 93% of those questioned thought that Greece could not take in any more immigrants and that 62% said that immigration is probably harming Greece.
Stung by his party's poor showing in the recent European elections prime minister Kostas Karamanlis has decided to get tough on the issue of immigration in order to avoid losing more support to the far right LAOS party. With the possibility of general elections in either September or March 2010 at the latest Karamanlis is hoping that a tough stance on crime and immigrants will help bring back voters who have deserted the party in droves after two years of corruption and influence peddling scandals involving several government ministers

my haircut lady lives with her family on a large dairy farm owned by her daddy. these are her neighbors.
(they grow acres of sunflowers some years.)
they are not DACA cows, but I'll bet some of their relatives were.
I hope mr trump doesn't plan on sending them back.

HUGE IMPACT - 43% of the Fortune 500 companies in 2017 (i.e., the 500 largest US companies as measured by annual revenues last year) were founded or co-founded by either an immigrant to the United States or by the child of an immigrant (source: Center for American Entrepreneurship).
none of these cows are entrepreneurs, either.

Basilica of Santa Maria in Trastevere
The phrase "in Trastevere" (beyond the Tiber) describes the neighborhood of Rome in which the Basilica of Santa Maria is located. In ancient times, the neighborhood was mainly inhabited by immigrants, sailors, fishermen, and retired soldiers. Before Roman Emperor Constantine the Great (306–337 AD) decriminalized Christian worship by issuing the Edict of Milan in 313, Christian worship took place in "tituli"--private "house churches" that were sometimes named for the priest designated by church authorities as the patron. The original house church in this site was founded in 220 by Pope Callixtus I, who died in 222; and it became known as "Titulus Callisti."
The oratory of the house church that Pope Callixtus I proposed to build at this location necessitated displacement of part of the "Taberna meritoria" (a tavern and refuge for retired soldiers). This created a dispute between Christians and tavern-keepers. The new and young Roman Emperor Alexander Severus (approximately 14 years old)--not himself a Christian--settled the dispute in favor of the Christians, reportedly declaring, "I prefer that it should belong to those who honor God, whatever be their form of worship." Implicit in the young emperor's ruling, Christian worship in the church was known about and allowed 93 years before such worship's official decriminilization in 313's Edict of Milan. This then became one of the first locations (perhaps the very first location) of imperially permitted Christian worship in Rome.
According to inscriptions in the basilica, the original structure was rebuilt and enlarged in 340, restored in the 5th and 8th centuries, then re-erected on its old foundations in 1140-1143. The remains of Pope Callixtus I are preserved under the altar.
The central nave down which this photo looks, is built on the original floor plan. It is bounded on the sides by an assortment of granite columns that were taken from various ancient Roman ruins.
Immigration to America is the hope of America ... and the hope of the world. Those who hate immigrants hate America and what America stands for.
Polydrusus formosus -- Emeralds come in many forms, one of which is in the shape of a Green Immigrant Weevil... One of many I found munching the night away couple days back during a warm June night.

The adults grow up to 5–6 millimetres (0.20–0.24 in) long. The colour of this insect is brilliant metallic green, as the black body is coated in emerald round scales. If the scales wear off the body beneath appears dark. Antennae are pale with a dark club. These beetles show a short groove between the eyes and evident striae on the elytra.

Adult specimens can mostly be encountered from April through August.These beetles lay their eggs in the bark or leaves of the host-plants. The soil-inhabiting larvae grow up to 7 millimetres (0.28 in) long feeding on juicy plant roots. In Autumn their development is complete. They overwinter and pupate in Spring.

Sculptor Luis Sanguino (b. 1934) celebrates the diversity of New York City and the struggle of immigrants in this heroic-sized bronze figural group. The sculpture depicts figures of various ethnic groups and eras, including an Eastern European Jew, a freed African slave, a priest, and a worker. The figures’ expressive poses emphasize the struggle and toil inherent in the experience of the immigrant or dislocated person.
The sculpture is located at the south end of the Eisenhower Mall in Battery Park near Castle Clinton, which served as a processing facility for newly arrived immigrants from 1855 to 1890, when construction began on a larger, more remote facility at nearby Ellis Island. The piece was donated by Samuel Rudin (1896–1975), who commissioned the sculpture in the early 1970s, intending it to be installed near Castle Clinton as a memorial to his parents, who, as it is noted on the plinth, emigrated to the United States in the late-19th century. Although Rudin died in 1975, Rudin’s family took up the campaign to install the sculpture at the park, and it eventually was dedicated on May 4, 1983.
The Cattle Egret is a native of Africa that found its way to the Americas. Unlike most of its cousins, this egret spends more time grazing fields than it does the waterways of North America. It follows many grazing animals, picking insects from their hides and capturing those stirred up with each of the larger animal’s steps. It is a beautiful immigrant and although an invasive species, does not appear to have had much if any negative impact on endemic species.
Every Mardi Gras Float Turns Here at the corner of fashionable St. Charles Avenue and historic Canal Street, you’ll find Rubensteins conveniently located at the heart of the New Orleans Downtown Business District. Or to look at it another way, just across Canal Street from the French Quarter, at the beginning of the streetcar’s route toward uptown.
1924: Morris Rubenstein, the son of Russian immigrants who operated a dry goods store at 418 S. Rampart St., opens neighboring corner haberdashery named Rubenstein’s Men’s Store at 102 St. Charles Ave. Shop carries shirts, ties, handkerchiefs and separate collars. Six months later, Elkin and Sam Rubenstein join their brother as financial partners. Haberdashery is renamed Rubenstein Bros.
1927: Rubenstein Bros. begins expansion and leases second building on Canal Street
Present day: Rubensteins encompasses seven adjacent buildings at Canal Street and St. Charles Avenue, including P.J.’s Coffee Shop and the Art of Shaving
