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」

Amazing photo, Gabi san! I have never seen the birth of a baby cicada :-) And the photo with little Karl watching cicada -- is precious! Thank you for sharing!
二番目と四番目を訳してみました。

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,

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

Awesome photos. Thank you so much for sharing. And the haiku as well of course but the photos really resonated for me.
I was especialy pleased with the photo where the cidada looks so much larger than the cocoon/shell.

Went back to reread your haiku: I like your use of "evening" because it suggests the old life that the cicada has outgrown and "breeze" for the suggestion of movement, which brings up, at least for me, the idea of change, transformation, and growth. Subtle and beautiful.
