Kids use to, do continue to be fascinated with these miniature flying machines! Adults find greenish BUGS a pest. How neat it is to still have a part of you a...a kid! We use to mess around in one of my father's veggie gardens, waiting for JUNE and the rise of June Bugs from the soil. We had a spool of thread. Carefully, we tied one end to a June Bug leg and watched it take off in flight...and run across the yard following the critter in flight. The winner? The longest flight!
No, there was NO P.E.T.A. back then. NO, we were careful to take care of the little flying bug, untieing its widdle leg to fly off to parts unknown, in the direction of West-by-gosh-Virginia!
The Sounds of Summer.... And I haven't heard the low hum of what we use to call "locusts" (cicadas) this summer. Later, near the conclusion of summer, another night sound will evolve and sign off each night about 11 or so. If you listen even more closely, too, you can tell almost to the date, night, when Fall is here. The insect sounds will quietly cease. This guy, "child", is in tune with....natural sounds. Et vous?
