Cicada Birthday 050725



Happy Birthday, dear Cicada !





evening breeze -
a cicada staggers
out to new life







Aaaa, almost there ...





trying hard
to cope with life -
the baby cicada






out of the cask
and free to roam -
baby cicada






... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...


making friends
on the first day -
welcome to Paradise !






Little Karl came by to greet his new friend!





兵庫県の87歳の俳人から、
「自分はまだ見たことがない蝉の変態シーンをGabiさんが句に詠み写真を撮られていて感動した」

二番目と四番目を訳してみました。
(相変わらずの素人訳ですぅぅぅ)


蝉ん子や 一所懸命 生き抜けよ
( semi-n-ko ya isshokenmei iki-nuke yo )

極楽に 蝉の子生まれ 友を知る
( GokuRaku ni semi no ko umare tomo wo shiru )

新しい命の誕生は、ほんとうに感動的な一大イベントですね!
GabiさんもKarl君もそこに立ち会えてなんと幸運だったことでしょう!

セミの鳴き声などが聞けます。

Some great shots, Gabi!
I saw a palmetto bug (huge cockroach to the uninitiated)just after it had emerged from its egg case and was sure I'd found some sort of alien life form.
Thanks for sharing.

cheers,
S.

These are remarkable photos. I like the final touch with the Prince and the Cicada.

WOW! AMAZING PHOTOS! I wish I could tell you what species this is, but it's hard to tell after they emerge before they dry....it appears to be a tibicen species, depending oin the location
