[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
One of my favorite times of the year is late summer, when the cicadas begin their mesmerizing drone. Their long, lazy songs are often the perfect complement to a late afternoon reverie by the riverside near our home.

It's still a bit early in the year to hear their songs, but this photo (taken at Wilbur Wright FWA near New Castle, Indiana) is evidence that they are gathering, and maybe just beginning to warm up for their grand symphony.

Very good. I'm surprised it hasn't gotten more points. Gary
P.S. I see these things are even uglier close up!

Very nice shot. Interesting pov and good dof.
