cicada conga line
I almost didn’t take a picture tonight, and I’m not crazy about the one I DID take.
Today’s task was to take a beautiful picture of something considered ugly. Well, what is beautiful? Or ugly? I spent the better part of the day turning that over in my mind. Just before dark I plopped down on the couch, defeated, and stared out the window into our yard….where there are twenty empty cicada shells marching in a line up the side of our tree. I think everyone would agree that cicada shells are ugly!
The race was then on to pick them off the tree and take them to the lightest spot of the yard to get some pictures before dark. Voila!
Tonight’s challenge was to capture ugly…and I think I got some, no? Now I need to go wash my hands about a thousand times. Anyone want me to make them a sandwich???
