Life at our forty acre farm includes a wide assortment.
The smaller variety and more vocal are the cicadas.
Here, in the summer, it is quite common to find their shells attached to trees, picnic tables, and on the sides of the house.
Yesterday morning, I was determined to find one emerging from it's shell so that I could get a picture.
And yep, I did.
Meet one of our newest tree dwellers...
Stanley Cicada...or maybe...Cindy Cicada.
Anyway, he/she is now a part of the choir that sings in the treetops during a hot summer day.
And really, I don't know if summer would be quite the same if they didn't.
Stay cool and comfortable as those summer temps rise!
Blessings, Julie

Awesome photo! What type of camera do you use?
Great photo. Well done on your perseverence! My father is a member of 'The Cicada Club'. He has a cochlear implant (without it he is profoundly deaf) and the club you join on getting one is called after your little critter. I think it has to do with the noise the first recipients heard after their operations. How's that for a bit of trivia?!!
I'm hoping the temps. will rise again here. Love the sunshine!
God bless you and thanks for your visit!
