Firefly Frenzy

I love fireflies. They don’t exist in Colorado, nor do they exist past a line somewhere mid-Kansas. No one seems to know why. I love having them around. Last year the first firefly we sighted was mid-June. The night before last I was letting a dog out and I swore I saw a firefly. By the time I called Rick to come and see, it was gone. Hallucination? Last night I was determined to sit outside to see for myself. Turns out, I was right! Please help me document the first firefly sighting of the season. Let firefly season begin!

Okay, they’re hard to see once the photo gets sized for the web, but trust me; they are there!

Do you know how hard it is to track a firefly in the dark? Trust, me; it’s not easy as the following video will prove. Watch for the tiny flashing light. My camera continues to amaze me!

About

Welcome, I'm Lynne. You know me better as a 'new' Jersey Girl. But now I've moved once again, this time to North Carolina. Here I write about my thoughts, good food, and of course, dogs.
