What lurks beneath

I'm hoping to try surfing for the first time next week near Wakayama. There are plenty of popular spots like Isonoura & Gobo, but I'm still a little apprehensive to get out of my depth. It's not that I'm a poor swimmer or anything. It's just that JAWS changed my view of the sea forever.

Cicada

The rainy season is finally over and the heat really is on. The weather has been in the mid thirties for the last week & the bugs are out in full force. The cicada are up and at it with the sun, kicking up one hell of a noise. You've probably heard them buzzing as background noise in any jungle movie scene. There are a few varieties of cicada, but here's one for your thoughts.
