As gorgeous, vapory, silent hues cover the evening sky,
As softness, fulness, rest, suffuse the frame, like freshier, balmier air,
As the days take on a mellower light, and the apple at last hangs
really finish'd and indolent-ripe on the tree,
Then for the teeming quietest, happiest days of all!
The brooding and blissful halcyon days!
Walt Whitman
This is a new species to me, but similar to E. prolifera I see in California, though larger and with a longer column. I regret I saw just this one individual, as I have read that they can brood many young--up to 300-- along the column and under the protection of their tentacles which have stinging cells.

Brood X, also referred to as the 17 year cicada.
I didn't have as much time as I would have liked to observe and photograph these cicadas, but for the little amount of time I did have, WOW. They definitely made their impression over the few weeks they were here.
I haven't looked up the correct name for this species yet, but will add. If you are reading this and know, please comment it. Thanks.

Napkin in a baggie as a diffuser - I had to come up with something as I was camping and forgot a diffuser. Whatever works.
One of the many cicadas of Brood XIX that I saw in northeast Georgia. The Great Southern Brood (XIX) and the Northern Illinois Brood (XIII) are emerging concurrently. The historic cicada event is the largest emergence in 221 years.

A January sunset viewed through my window. It appears that a storm is on the way, but it was actually a really beautiful night. Other than my copyright, this one is SOoC.

Open brood cells during the pupal stage of development. Although this is an uncommon and abnormal image in colonies, it is harmless too. These pupae develop in to healthy workers.

Suits my mood today in the gloomy rain.
This has had almost everything thrown at it...huemore, Repix, Snapseed, modern grunge, and possibly a couple of others I can't remember...
This shot is 3 bracketed shots merged together in Photomatix, and finished off in Photoshop CS5. I really like how the sky and water have turned out.....all this merging and blending and bracketing and whatever other hocus-pocus is all new and totally confusing to me.....it's a shame all the trees on the fell on the right seems to have all but merged into one big mess......

I'm taking these shots with a xpadder controller+camera tweaks+A Closer Look mod by FadingSignal. Don't really need TFC anymore, which is amazing.
