Did not seem to be bothered that the metro station is now called North Bethesda
Two young foxes play fighting. They seem to be quite comfortable being near humans and a relatively busy street.

I noticed that the ash leaves were falling in large quantities in our yard, and found that almost all of the stems had oviposition scars. This is a dissected leaf stem, showing the egg nests corresponding to each slit.
The stems dessicate quickly after falling and the eggs will die. It's suprising to see that so many of the cicadas chose such a poor oviposition site. Interestingly, black walnut and hickory leaf stems on our property show no sign of oviposition damage.
