    The world is absolutely alive tonight. Cicadas have joined in with the chorus of frogs and crickets.

    ...

    Besides, the frogs are putting on quite a show tonight. It'd be rude not to sit still and listen for a bit.

For a while I lived on an abandoned farm on a small island. No electricity or running water. It was awesome. A major pleasure was going to sleep at night - each day would have a different combination of creatures often with one taking the lead, louder than the rest. I came to love listening to those natural concertos.
