Thanks, Jack!
They do stir up nostalgia, don't they?

Hi all,
Well, it's that time again. Every 13 years, or so, we're overrun with these
dudes. Up until the past few weeks, I thought my area had somehow been spared
their incessant, shrill drone (is that a contradiction in terms?). But, sure
enough, the sound began, and I started finding their shells stuck to the trees,
fence posts, lawn furniture, etc.
I caught this one alive, making his way up a support beam in the garage one night as I
was having a lovely beverage. I named him "Coolio" -- because I was drunk.
Again, this was shot with my K 50/1.4 on the K-x with a reversing ring. ISO
100, f/11, 1/180 with flash.

I figured I had to get a shot now, since I won't get a chance again for 13
years. Comments welcome as always.
Thanks!
