I took tea field by 300mm. I don't know reason detail .<br />I took the cicada about at 10PM, not early morning.They do eclosion during secure time. So they may do it early morning,too.<br />When I saw it first, it looked like an alien.<br />Thank you for comment.sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03914623584143922445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3077698217702274896.post-2147413530438572282011-07-30T20:51:26.519+09:002011-07-30T20:51:26.519+09:00Your photos of the lotus flowers are beautiful, an...Your photos of the lotus flowers are beautiful, and the color is just so pretty too.

You seem to have gotten used to your new camera.<br /><br />The center of lotus flowers is very unique with seed pod which looks like bee's nest (蜂の巣), that's why a lotus was called "hachisu" in old Japanese. <br />"Hachisu" became "hasu", as you may know already.<br /><br />The emergence of a cicada didn't make me sick at all, on the contrary, it moved me. You must have risen early that day as I hear the cicada emerges early in the morning. The newly-emerged cicada is so lovely with its translucent wings and impressive, expressive eyes.
