Semi 4
Posted by Daryl Johnson (Farnham, United Kingdom) on 15 August 2008 in Animal & Insect.
Semi is Japanese for cicada.
Although I'm now in England, this blog will still feature photos from Japan for the foreseeable future.
I apologise in advance if I'm tardy with commenting on your blogs or returning comments during the week... I will get to you though!
@Veronelle: Merci Veronelle!
Evelyne Dubos from Le Mans, France
Excellent composition. Like the contrast between grey concrete and colorful background. And of course the 2 cicadas on each round hole.

Looks just like the ones here. You sure these aren't tourists?

Really nice composition. So good of the semi to cooperate with this positioning. Today in Toronto I can hear lots of them, but that's fairly unusual here.

@Damon Schreiber: Cheers Damon. What's the year cycle for cicadas in Toronto?
