Exoskeleton abandoned, and ready to fly
Get ready to hear the trees, roar with their song again, as Christmas (and summer) approaches. Perhaps in the Northern hemisphere, snow signals the festive change of season. Here in the south, however, it's the cicadas song.
Hot or cold, are you ready for the season of festivities ahead?
No I am not ready, Chris. My daughter and family won't be coming down so it will be a quiet Christmas. I am yet to hear the cicadas.
ReplyDeleteWe're not ready either, Chel. Haven't even started planning! Terrible, I know. Christmas tree went up today though and we're making calls to family tonight. Christmas day, is generally when the cicadas are out in true force, everywhere.
ReplyDeleteWe are heading off on holidays at the end of this week and so I've had to get organised early. Happy to head off and leave the Xmas hustle and bustle behind. Meg:)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your holidays. It's sensible to get the traveling out of the way, avoiding Christmas traffic. :)
DeleteI remember cicadas in Melbourne as a child but don't hear them now. Perhaps another species has gone from this area or maybe there are more cicada predators here than in Melb suburbia.
ReplyDeleteAustralian Tinnitus!!
ReplyDeleteGood one. It can be surreal sometimes, hearing that eternal ringing in the ears. :)
DeleteAs hubby and I were driving along this morning I mentioned the song of the cicadas that we could hear. We both had the same memory, when the cicadas are singing it's going to be a hot day. Yes it was a hot day.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. Heat and cicadas, go hand in hand.
