Cicadas


When the sun is out here, there is an ever present buzzing sound of the cicadas. I promise you have never heard them as loud as they are in France. The locals have told us that it is the male of the species calling to the woman. The first few days with the jet lag it made me anxious, now it makes me happy. On Sean's return from the Pyrannes, he said as soon as he got on the A-9 (the main freeway through our area), he could hear them calling. The picture is of one we found in the pool. Everywhere you go you can buy artwork and souvenirs representing them.
