Photographs of nature, places and objects that have caught my eye.

Φωτογραφίες απο την φύση, απο τόπους και αντικείμενα που μου χτύπησαν στο μάτι.

Its a big big big... small world.(V) Είναι ένας μεγάλος μεγάλος μικρόκοσμος.(V)

Cicadas. The singers of the summer. They are everywhere. On hay-stalks, on tree branches, even on the tent over my balcony. They never stop singing. Day and night.
Τα τζιτζικια. Οι τραγουδιστες του καλοκαιριού. Τα βρίσκεις παντού. Στα χορτάρια, στα κλαδιά των δένδρων, ακόμη και στην τέντα στην βεράντα μου. Δεν σταματούν ποτέ. Τραγουδούν μέρα-νύχτα.

Soon the warmth of the sun, shall awaken the Cicadas here as well, and I do love their songs. We have them every year, but the 17 year Magi Cicadas arrive andoh my, how wonderful they are. Grand images Costas~

They are musical little buggers, aren't they!! Great captures, Costas, you make even the little critters look beautiful! Enjoy your evening!

I love them. They evoke wonderful childhood memories and, somehow, summer isn't complete without them.

Very interesting creature! Lovely see-through wings.

I've never met a cicada. I hadn't expected to be impressed by its wings.

Yes, we are hearing them sing here as well. They are lovely bugs. Ours have a greenish hue and are so pretty!

I like the sounds of cicadas but I never succeeded to take a photo of one! Interesting macros, Costas! I like the last one the most.

Cicadas are such large and unattractive bugs, but they are also wonderful photo subjects and patient as well it seems.
