Katydid Chorus

Posted by Russ Devan (New Hanover, United States) on 3 September 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

I shot this a few weeks ago during an evening walk at Hopewell Furnace, which is a restored early American iron-making village, about 20 minutes from New Hanover. I remember the katydids that evening were exceptionally vocal as I walked along the road and through the trees as fog started to form along the ground. Katydids are a common but sublime sound of late summer evenings around here.

"The Master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both."
