"Cicada on Pineapple Tree in Summer Light in Black and White" Same great photo in gray scale to accent those details. Whether When I lived in Wisconsin or here now the loud song of the Cicada fills the air letting me know we are deep in the mid summers heat. I have always been a summer baby even though now in the desert summers are running about 115-120 F. I still find the longer days, the hot summer nights and the summer sounds to be joyful. This digitally manipulated photograph captures the love of summer and those little guys song.
