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.

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 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.

Another installment in my short drama: Yup, it's an invader in our Acorn Woodpeckers' tree, the European Starling. Can you believe the nerve of this guy?? While they're pretty, they're also not native to North America, having been introduced from Europe to New York in the late 1800s. They are now very common. I don't like them because they are showing up in our woodpecker territory. The woodpeckers have their own problems, as sometimes the local park personnel have to consider the public safety if a dead tree or branch were to fall. They do understand the trees of nesting birds are off limits from their saws though.
To those of you who have referenced in your comments the PBS show "Woodpeckers: The Hole Story", I wasn't aware of it. Our Acorns are featured about 30 minutes in. Just fantastic. Thank you all so much.

when i saw this prompt, i thought: farmer’s market. i took along my camera, but i felt dis-ease. i didn’t want to interrupt or invade the interactions. i’m uncomfortable taking photographs of strangers or inserting my camera into community events. i wondered if i should “push through” this discomfort, but then i realized, no, i don’t want to. so i’m stretching this particular theme to include the binding and bonding of the natural world. i found this dragonfly on a daisy in my backyard. for a few precious moments, we all bonded.
[29:52, take a photograph that depicts the binding and bonding of people local to you]

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. .
My yard Gray Squirrel bird feeder invader and I just caught him with goods lol !

For some reason, this reminds me of my school days- or more specifically, sneaking out at lunchtime to the local arcade to play Space Invaders. The huge cabinet which housed the small screen and a couple of red painted joysticks stood in the far corner of a rather worn out room and was a magnet for my 12 year old self, it’s gaudy paintwork an explosion of rockets and stars promising adventure beyond my imagination. There was an old, cracked skylight in the ceiling and in the summer shafts of light would pierce the gloom, lighting up dust fairies which seemed to beckon me forward. No wonder I was addicted.
Of course, playing at lunchtime wasn’t without risk. There were prefects whose sole purpose in life was to ensure that we didn’t leave the premises. But at least some of them could be incentivized to turn a blind eye- although you could never be certain that the deal would be kept on your return. And there were also the boys from the rival school down the road– should you happen to run across them in town, the option menu (as far as they were concerned) didn’t seem to list either meaningful dialogue or reconciliation. Which meant that you had to run fast.
But the upsides far outweighed the risk- I learned about economics and commerce. About the fact that verbal contracts were not always binding. And of course, as I spent all my lunch money playing video games and then frequently had to run back to school pursued by an angry mob, it meant that I was really very skinny.
In fact, I think that we’d all be fitter and healthier if we still spent our lunch money on games and then chased each other up and down the high street.
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.

On the old gate post at the church, I came across these Ladybirds (Lagybugs). Perhaps about a dozen of the familiar spotted adults, and several dozen of the younger, larval stages, and a few of the blacker ones (pupal stages?). I've never seen a gathering like this, and wondered why they had chosen this old timber in such full view. (Interestingly, there were greenfly wandering about among them.)
I hope someone will have a better description......
AND thank you SallyT for telling us they are foreign INVADERS -- the dreaded Harlequin Ladybirds --

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
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. ^_^
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.
