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

Located on the beautiful Hoan Kiem Lake in Hanoi, the Ngoc Son Temple is a Chinese temple in honor of another of the country's popular heroes, the national hero Tran Hung Dao, who in the s. XII expelled the Mongol invaders. Built at the end of the 19th century to access the temple you have to cross the spectacular Huc Bridge (Bridge of the Rising Sun), a wooden construction in the shape of a walkway that stands out among the greenery of the park for its beautiful red color.

Tashi Lhunpo Monastery (Tibetan: བཀྲ་ཤིས་ལྷུན་པོ་), founded in 1447 by the 1st Dalai Lama, is a historic and culturally important monastery in Shigatse, the second-largest city in Tibet.
The monastery was sacked when the Gorkha Kingdom invaded Tibet and captured Shigatse in 1791 before a combined Tibetan and Chinese army drove them back as far as the outskirts of Kathmandu, when they were forced to agree to keep the peace in the future, pay tribute every five years, and return what they had looted from Tashi Lhunpo.
The monastery is the traditional seat of successive Panchen Lamas, the second highest ranking tulku lineage in the Gelug tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. The "Tashi" or Panchen Lama had temporal power over three small districts, though not over the town of Shigatse itself, which was administered by a dzongpön (prefect) appointed from Lhasa - Wikipedia
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.

Middelburg is the capital of the province of Zeeland and has a rich history, which is still evident. Middelburg was founded in the 9th century when the Vikings moved into Europe. In order to protect the island of Walcheren against invaders, a ringfort was built. After the threat of the land invaders was over, the fortress started to benefit from its convenient location on the water and developed into a commercial centre. Since this fortress was the centre (middle) fortress of Walcheren, it was given the name Middelburg.
At the time of the VOC, Middelburg was the second most important town in the Netherlands, after Amsterdam. In 200 years' time more than 300 new ships were built in the shipyards. These ships set sail to Asia to trade spices, textiles and porcelain. In the centre of Middelburg you can still find the buildings that recall this golden era. After a bombardment in 1940 where, in the consequential fire, much of the town was lost, Middelburg was rebuilt again in traditional style.
In addition to historical monuments you will also find an abundance of modern architecture. Middelburg is really a town with an individual character. There are intimate squares, lovely little streets, sociable bars and apart from the large chains you can also find many boutiques, galleries and art dealers.
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.

These 4-inch grasshoppers are too large and toxic for most natural predators, so they don’t need to move fast. If for any reason, you fail to heed the color warning and pick it up, the grasshopper makes a loud hissing noise and secretes an irritating foul-smelling foamy spray. Lubbers cannot fly far, and travel in short clumsy hops, or walk and crawl slowly through the vegetation. They feed on broadleaf plants and can become a nuisance when swarms invade residential areas and feast on garden plants.

After a 20-minute (or so) walk through the neighborhoods and in the light rain, our tour group finally arrived at the popular Creek Street. 😊
Have a lovely day, everyone...
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!
My yard Gray Squirrel bird feeder invader and I just caught him with goods lol !

Osprey watches closely the two invaders that came and sat under the tree there along the ocean ... captured in the Everglades along the southern tip of Florida.
The osprey was protecting its recent catch pulled from the ocean, it was there sitting on this dead palm tree with the fresh fish under its talons.
Happy Bench Monday :)
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.

Many ripples on the lake
See the patterns that they make
Tiny waves, see them ride
Across the water, deep and wide
An army of blue and grey
See them dance, see them play
A million ripples, that do make
Natures beauty invade the lake
Grumpy ring billed gull running off another invading his space.

Space Invader.
I had the great pleasure of meeting up with Giles McGarry and Noel Clegg recently in the UK, the day started with the most amazing mist, but dissappeared as we got near the sea. It didnt really matter that much as the company was brilliant. I had met the guys previously in Brighton last year and once again had a great time and learnt so much. Living where I do in Ireland I pretty much always shoot alone so meeting up with these two guys is fantastic.
I also met Richard Fraser for the first time too and he seems like a really nice fella and has some great work on here. He has uploaded some excellent shots from the day on Flickr already too.
This is Dovercourt Lighthouse in Essex - .I managed to snag this with my last shot of the day just as the sun was going down. Quite a popular spot but I hope that it has a little twist to it.
