I was lucky enough to see this beautiful cicada break free of his shell and start climbing up the sycamore tree in our front yard. He still had moisture on his wings, and they looked iridescent like stained glass! Cicadas have long been symbols of rebirth, longevity, reflection, change, resurrection and immortality.
This photo is now available on my shops at Red Bubble , Cafe Press and Zazzle (technically I'm still posting it on Zazzle, but it's already available on quite a few things).
