Taken at 10:38 AM on 06/20/2013 in Chester, NJ In this photo, not only are the usual pink spots showing at the 12, 3, 6 & 9 positions, but I also managed to capture several cicadas in flight! One prominent one is at the 10 o'clock position and several others are visible as points of light scattered around the sun.
The most interesting thing about these cicadas is that most folks cannot wait for them to leave. I am thrilled to see them again, and will be saddened when they leave because it will be another 17 years until I can visit with them and enjoy their company again, and hear their lovely symphony.
I think these cicadas are exquisite - like a dragon fly - and that their gossamer wings shimmer in the sunlight as if jewel-encrusted works of delicate art.
They won't be around for much longer, and the wait for their return in 2030 is a lifetime away. Enjoy their visit and be sure to take a moment to marvel at their beauty.
Blessed Be!
