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
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)

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 great cormorant on the left was extremely tolerant of the rowdy, space invading pelican neighbours.
The plastic drink bottles were removed by cropping and/or patching. Would that it were so easy to clean up the environment.
Isabella Pond, Australian Capital Territory, May 2013.
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.

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. .

I visited Claxby NATS Radar station last night thinking the lights would be turned off like the last time I visited. Unfortunately not!
It wasn't easy trying to find a point of view without overexposed floodlights invading the frame. I finally settled for this composition making the fenceline part of the image.
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
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. ^_^
We have a huge, empty field behind our backyard fence and these invaders want in. I wish the field was full of bluebonnets or some other colorful wildflowers that I could photograph, but then that would be too easy, right?
Happy Fence Friday, everyone. One of my goals is to catch up on some editing I've been meaning to do. So, you may see some extra uploads from me. ;-)
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.
I really wanted to use some of those perler beads, and this is what I came up with. They're coasters, but I don't even remember the last time I used a coaster. I do, however, remember that the last time I used perler beads I was too young to handle the iron by myself.
The latest in Invader technology. This particular ship contains a small rover for the pilot.
I actually built this before I saw pictures of the new Blacktron Cruiser GWP, so any resemblance is coincidence. Heck, when It wasn't even intended to be like the original Invader either.

Who's going this year? I need to know who to bug and invade and avoid the silly "OMG you were there!?!? " game ....
