I follow its voices and am surprised that this cicada stays put even we are only within an arm's length.
It is normally a low risk-taker that used to turn round and hides behind the tree trunk, or simply flies away.

Then captured by the radar screen of my camera is a mushroom with a big brain and a long neck.
It suddenly dawns on me that both of them are on stage for a duet.
The mushroom sings songs that voices can never share. They are echoing in the well of silence.
This is Simon, that is Garfunkel.
Awwww, very nice indeed.
ReplyDeletejust love it. :)

ReplyDeleteBeauty is in the eye of the beholder, and to me everything in nature is beautiful, cicadas, mushrooms, and even non-poisonous snakes.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful picture of this cicada! The color is great to see. Your mushroom is so beautiful:-)
ReplyDeleteI would like to hear the cicada and mushroom sing a Simon & Garfunkel song. Pretty images, as always.. Enjoy your weekend!

Haha! Nicely done. But the cicadas certainly can make noise even if not from a voice.

ReplyDeleteI've heard the cicada before. I'll have to listen more closely for the mushroom!
ReplyDelete;-)
Beautiful shots. I love the comparison to Simon and Garfunkel's Sound of Silence, a favorite song of mine.
ReplyDeleteMy dog once caught a cicada and hid it in her mouth. It made a very loud noise, but I couldn't figure out where it was coming from. Finally I realized that it was coming from the dog. I couldn't get it away from her before she swallowed it.
ReplyDeleteLove that cicada and mushroom shots.
ReplyDeleteAnd very interesting perspective. You never fail to make me smile...yes you.:)
So fun to see the cicada, have heard them for years but have never seen one. Thank you for that! Always enjoy your shrooms as well and thank you for your comments on my blog as well.
ReplyDeleteYour pictures delight me, as your blog is far away from being false. The interest that you take in nature esp. in tiny dudes is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLove, Naqvee
