This week, on a walk in the forest, I met an animal that doesn't really belong here. It was eating acorns and didn't care about me
In Germany—where the raccoon is called the Waschbär (literally, "wash-bear" or "washing bear") due to its habit of "dousing" food in water—two pairs of pet raccoons were released into the German countryside at the Edersee reservoir in the north of Hesse in April 1934 by a forester upon request of their owner, a poultry farmer. He released them two weeks before receiving permission from the Prussian hunting office to "enrich the fauna." Several prior attempts to introduce raccoons in Germany were not successful. A second population was established in eastern Germany in 1945 when 25 raccoons escaped from a fur farm at Wolfshagen (today district of Altlandsberg), east of Berlin, after an air strike. The two populations are parasitologically distinguishable: 70% of the raccoons of the Hessian population are infected with the roundworm Baylisascaris procyonis, but none of the Brandenburgian population has the parasite. The estimated number of raccoons was 285 animals in the Hessian region in 1956, over 20,000 animals in the Hessian region in 1970 and between 200,000 and 400,000 animals in the whole of Germany in 2008. By 2012 it was estimated that Germany now had more than a million raccoons (Wikipedia)

The married redstart on the left was the usual bird to visit this log. He was chased off by the bird on the right on this occasion. He returned a few seconds later this time with the misses, who then did the chasing.
First home of the Indians,and later invaded by gold miners,the lore of the Vulture Range is legendary and ever evolving. The clash between the Indians and miners was brutal. Eventually the miners won out but it was temporary, when gold ran out, so did the miners....

I have been watching the old B&W western series "Wagon Train" on METV and found it interesting how our sensibilities have changed since it was a hit from 1957 to 1965 on first NBC and then on ABC. In a large number of the shows there is an American Indian on a hillside watching the train. The shots are always from the POV of the people on the wagon train. I thought it would be interesting to do an image from the other point of view and show what the Indians saw - invaders coming boldly into their territory. That is what inspired me to make this image for Sliders Sunday. .
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.

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
Name: Pyer Eliss
Species: Human
Age: 22
Homeworld: Serenno
Faction: CR
Class: Scoundrel
Story: Pyer Eliss was the son of a wealthy Serenno Nobleman and close friend of Count Dooku. His family were seperatists during the Clone Wars, helping to fund the Confederacy's numerous military projects. Following the Seperatist defeat, Darth Vader and his Imperial army invaded Serenno, slaughtering the nobles and remaining separatists. Pyer fled, narrowly escaping, but his family were not so lucky. Overcome by grief, Pyer used his family's fortune to sell weapons to anti-empire guerilla fighters, seeking revenge on the men that killed his family and friends. Support of these early resistance movements were successful up until three weeks ago, when Pyer's main contact, former Senator Alam Sorio, went cold. Pyer now looks to find Sorio and free him, wanting to continue his fight against the Empire.
Space invader is back.
The pitch of the movie is the same as in round n°1 :
So I'm driving in the icelandic east fjords. Basically, I can't see a thing.
The cloud surrounding me is so thick the sunlight has become an abstract notion.
Until the next turn. From it and it seems magic, the sky is so clear that you should be able to see Pluto's tail.
Going along one of the fjords, I can now see the other side.
Except that I can't.
Another fluffly monstruosity is filling up the lower layers of the sky and most layers of emerged land.
That tells me that I should take my time going there, enjoy the sun for a bit, that if I couldn't see anything before, it must have come from quite some picturesque cloud if taken from the outside.
