spring song in darkness

here in the south, it is the time when spring peepers sing the hallelujah chorus in every ditch, pond and puddle. their voices swell, ebb and flow beginning @ around dark-thirty.
later, if you happen outside in the cool night air, they’re still partying out there…
as in every living being’s life cycles, this is their window of opportunity…..
“hallelujah! hallelujah!” ….an orgy in every pond and puddle.
on some nights the warming air keeps them at it at such frantic levels, it actually
gets louder, fuller. a great wild party full of pheromones, and lovesongs , wild dancing….
been there, done that, and a very
good time was had by all. ’nuff said…

i have a couple twitter haiku about these very vocal subjects.

flies, women and song…
these tiny little peeper guys
have got it made.

we can all enjoy the spring-singing, must be some good party!

note: on NPR the ‘Hallelujah Chorus’ is playing right now…life imitates art

    LOL! I’ll have to think of this when our own Spring Peepers get going (much later in the season).

    I am almost afraid to ask what you think of the bullfrog chorus of summer… but am laughing with the imaginary thought of it!

    I wish we had a chorus frog over here.

    I ‘d love to listen to their song on warm evenings.

    Mind you, they sound like randy little buggers so I bet their evenings simply fly by!

    LOL!Rob!
    Yes, it is a most marvelous thing, and always speaks of spring.

Oh, hi there!

I was a garden blog pioneer, and began writing on this blog in 2003. Before that I had begun a garden website that has been at its own domain since 2006, Ilona's Garden.

I still love writing, gardening, and art after all these years, although travel and grandchildren have become a big part of my life, now.
