This is the year of the seventeen year cicada. While I’ve been seeing lots of holes in the ground from where they’ve been tunneling themselves out to freedom, save one exoskeleton, I’ve seen no live cicada, until today.



Beauty is everywhere waiting to be captured
This is the year of the seventeen year cicada. While I’ve been seeing lots of holes in the ground from where they’ve been tunneling themselves out to freedom, save one exoskeleton, I’ve seen no live cicada, until today.
I was born at the American Hospital in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France. I find inspiration in the lives of so many people from Joan of Arc to Oscar Wilde. While my primary avocation is photography, I also enjoy philosophy, theology and most of all, history. My beloved wife, Robin Anne Smith, who passed away in 2013 is an inspiration to me. My beloved partner, Dana is also a great support and inspiration to me. I'd be remiss if I did not mention my cats: Maxwell, Nigel, Pirouette and GarGar. View more posts
Creepy looking bugs
Ha! I think they are beautiful! And really quite amazing how they lie dormant for years and years and then by some secret inner clock, they emerge from deep in the ground. 😺
I think that adds to their creepiness. haha.
Ha! 😃
Wow!
I’m not showing these photos to my wife 😀
Yes, a lot of people find insects disturbing. I love them! 😺
