second skin

A couple of weeks ago, my daughters & i came across a cicada molting on the fence in my backyard...it had made the rest of its way out of the molt before i realized, "hey, i should film this."





There are trees in my neighborhood that have started shedding their bark, making way for new:

















i need to shed some old skin, some protective covering.

love the video! had no idea how beautiful cicadas are. i've only seen them in swarms (scary) or half-eaten by a chicken (gross). thanks for posting!

Forgot to ask - what kind of tree is that in the 2nd photo?

i believe it's a sycamore, but plants & birds & rocks & things aren't a strength of mine.
