Cicadas are cool. I see and hear them here a lot.

One flew into my window the other day and got me in the face while I was driving. I thought some kid threw something at me.

The dog thinks they are large popcorn bites. Drives Mrs bo crazy trying to keep her from eating them.

[Irving]

I can confirm that cicadas in fact, do not taste like popcorn.

My favorite bug, played with them as a kid and hung their empty shells on our clothes as we found them, wore them like medals!

Ugly, harmless and create a mesmerizing sound.

I took this last week up at my place in Steamboat. I was standing on the landing of the stairs going to my condo. Probably only about 30 feet from the bear. I was carrying things in and out from the parking lot to my condo. Caused an impromptu beverage break for me to wait until he wandered off. This is across the street from the City Market and Wal-Mart parking lot for those of you who know Steamboat.

This was at the Adams county fairgrounds a couple of weeks ago.

Annual turtle visit.

Good thing so far this year is that have yet to see any of his cousins flat on the highway.

I saw a turtle the other day too. Had to move her out of the way.

Sitting in a parking lot eating lunch while my little dog was at the vet. These birds (and several others) landed on the front of the car and started eating the bugs from the grill. Might be a clue it's time for a wash?
