蝉の羽化 The emergence of Cicada
2019-07-22
今朝は外に置いた傘に２匹の蝉が羽化して抜け殻とともにとまっていました。それはもう普通のアブラゼミだったのですが、夜９時に帰宅すると、さらに２匹、別の蝉たちの羽化が始まったところでした。
This morning, I found 2 Cicadas on my umbrella. They were already almost finished coming out. 9:00PM, when I came back home, I found another 2 cicadas that half emerged.
写真は午後９時の状態（左）と10時半の状態（右）。Left: at 9:00 PM, Right:at 10:30 PM.
２枚の写真をPhotoshopで１枚に合成してあります。I put two photos in one with Photoshop.
２日で４匹。そんなに傘が良いのでしょうか…
4 cicadas in 2 days, is that umbrella such a nice place to emerge?

“Down to the earth” … this is from the album title of Rainbow. I don’t like Ritchie Blackmore but I do like Graham Bonnet. That is why I had this Vinyl.

They say ev’rything can be replaced
Yet ev’ry distance is not near
So I remember ev’ry face
Of ev’ry man who put me here
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released (Bob Dylan)
…Although I don’t like Bob Dylan, this song is very impressive.
But in this photo the light is coming from the east.

I wanted to put a sunflower together with the lion in one photo, but I didn’t have a good one, so used a dahlia instead. Anyway, a lion should be gold or yellow.

みわたせば はなももみぢも なかりけり うらのとまやの あきのゆふぐれ —藤原定家—
There are no flowers or autumn leaves around, in the autumn sunset of a thatched hut behind.
—Fujiwara no Teika—
Quoting this Waka-poem, I can say that almost all my photos are based on that thought. From subjects which have no beautiful flowers or attractive matter, I would like to make them beautiful or attractive, by controlling focus or angle or composition.
Our eyes can only see the scenery but the results of the photos can show us the beautiful scenes which actually exist in reality but are difficult to recognize.

When I was a toddler, we sang a song in the kindergarten every morning. Because the kindergarten was owned by a temple, it was a song to teach the children to pay respect to the roadside statues and dedicate the beautiful natural flowers to them.
