Nice!
I love the yellow, blue, and green contrast in the flower pic. The "Old Man's Beard" moss is a worthy subject too, I have never photographed it but always like the way it looks. Great shots Arbo! -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER! Very Happy CP Lifetime Member CP CORE TEAM Referral Code CE213 |

That is exactly what it was.......a green Mohave!
 I took some video of it after it was chopped into 4 pieces with the shovel..... it was still moving around and trying to strike.

The Cicada hatch progression pics are incredible!
Excellent timing and cool pics. If I'm right... I think they hatch in cycles every few years. Great work! -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER! Very Happy CP Lifetime Member CP CORE TEAM Referral Code CE213 |

Thanks Chris, it was very cool to watch. I was going to video it and do a time lapse, but it started to happen when we had several kids in the yard visiting Timmy so I just mostly let them enjoy watching it....
...and enjoyed they did!! There was another adult male on one of our posts making the really cool sound, so I was able to show them what it was going to look like when it was all done. Right Chris! The Grand Wester Cicada (this one) runs in a 3 year cycle. Some other Cicadas have a 16 year cycle... Wow! -------------------- Education is the key to the future,

I was out in Gunnison County this weekend rockhounding. A Wren flew out of a Sagebrush that was right next to me. Because the bird let me get so close before it flew I knew exactly what I would find. I leaned over and took this picture.
