On the other hand. . .

The day started off badly -- you know it can't be a winner when your coffee pot explodes first thing -- but things are looking up. A cicada decided to molt right outside my back door, so I just spent a few minutes watching its wings unfurl. Strange looking creature -- really primeval -- but the colors are nice.



It's rather late in the season for it to be coming out -- I guess their biological clocks are no better than mine. I can only wish it luck.
