I live in central Texas, and they are a sure indicator of the dog days of summer. Personally, I find them revolting, and I'd never hold one like that, but it is still interesting nevertheless to see one close up when you can only ever hear them.<br /><br />Nothing says summer more than endless days of 100+ temperatures and the sound of cicadas, and the funny thing is, I can hear them outside as I'm reading this. :)Edwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03039663750972949031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7578502161069698346.post-41743193994834700442009-07-13T23:41:50.581+02:002009-07-13T23:41:50.581+02:00Magique !!

One time I was near to Arles at a village wedding and the groom put a cicada in my hand. The first time I'd had that privilege. There is something about the sound - indeed I should say noise! - that is so evocative of all I adore about Provence. So love this post.Jillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08059152467099868300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7578502161069698346.post-66378386261457351042009-07-12T08:29:28.799+02:002009-07-12T08:29:28.799+02:00oh, that is amazing! the color of it's eyes, l...oh, that is amazing! the color of it's eyes, like small bits of light turquoiseLady Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04797024837774358632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7578502161069698346.post-56082828682181956722009-07-12T08:20:42.893+02:002009-07-12T08:20:42.893+02:00blog walking..It is never quiet in the summertime....blog walking..It is never quiet in the summertime...jali bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11080430562670309719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7578502161069698346.post-36463047169731081382009-07-12T06:41:03.864+02:002009-07-12T06:41:03.864+02:00I love the cicadas sound!
