Cicadas and Stars

We've started hearing the summer sound of cicadas in the mesquite trees at the ranch, and yesterday morning Sam worked his magic, zeroed in on one and captured the chorus. I rarely see them, but Sam can almost always pick out the little creatures.

We brought the cat tower inside and Frankie wasted no time jumping to the top. But it was Dingus who chose the second tier for his morning nap.

Our weekend ended with a session of star gazing in the front yard, although this doesn't do justice to the beautiful night skies we see out here, miles from the city. I'll work on a better photo with my real camera someday.

Have a good week, everyone!
