Cicadas' sounds were music to my ears

On a recent Friday afternoon I was leaving the Licking Valley Campus where I work, when I saw our Bradford Pear tree working alive with activity.

A closer inspection revealed hundreds of singing cicadas. I grabbed my camera out of the car and climbed under the lower limbs of the tree to get a better look.

Amazing.

I started shooting pictures while my colleague Debbie Gill gasped, "What are you doing?" She doesn't like cicadas.
