One last shot of the evening storms. I have some processing to do to get to some more content. No pressure!
I miss living in Kansas (you read that right) where I could get better sky shots. Pesky trees in my neighborhood take away my vistas.

Inside (and retained-within) the silt-fence bounding our Worksite, an opportunistic imprint of the previous-day's rains upon said silt (captured) impressed me [enough to stop, and save the Moment].

Although this isn't the Photo Association Game thread, the prior picture of a tractor convinced me to upload a picture of the construction machinery being used at a nearby sports complex where I jog during the week after work.

My first post on PotD - taken in Edinburgh at the baseball game between Edinburgh Cannons and the Granite City Oilers
Hmm, can't recall if I've posted this one before. Oh well.

Since my desk and made with my nose thanks Apple despite more difficult, today !
In all seriousness, the "off center" angle actually makes the picture stand out more. Good picture!
Gone, but not forgotten: the 17-year Cicadas which invaded us so thoroughly a few weeks ago have now already come to the end of their short lives and things are quiet again, we aren't stepping on them everywhere, etc. One day a week or so ago I spotted this wing, completely unattached to whoever had originally used it to get around, just lying on the walk, so picked it up and brought it home to shoot. I stuck it in a small dish and then forgot about it until yesterday, when I ran across it again. Note: for photographic purposes this is larger than life-size! The Cicadas are not THAT big! I'll be shooting it again at another time, as I'm not getting the results I want, as my aim is to be showing off the lovely transparency and sparkle that these wings actually have, but this is a start:

The rest of it was likely eaten by a bird! We just have the dog-day cicadas coming into their own right now. The 13/17 year ones are definitely a plague all on their own. The crazy part is they don’t eat anything. They just come up to mate and lay their eggs on the undersides of small twigs.
