A Voice as Pure as a Minnie Riperton song

[gurdonark]

Today on my walk on the Trinity Trail, I heard a sound which admixed an insect with an fervent, raucous industrial whine. I looked at a nearby little cedar tree, where a single cicada, roughly the size of a hummingbird, perched with a sound that would have made any number of Teutonic synthesizer bands proud. I thought to myself "welcome to Texas", and walked on, searching out butterflies.

it shows that small creatures can have loud impact with large voices.
reminds me of the courtroom.

glad your intensive working time is over, for now... i've missed your lengthy posts and i miss seeing your user icons... something very special about them they hold moods or i seem to read moods from them anyway.

anyway glad you're "back"

I like that image--small creatures, with loud voices.
