Fireflies

Today was a beautiful June day in Lexington. Chris and I went out to dinner and sat on the patio at Lexx. When we came home, we found that our yard was full of fireflies. We haven’t seen many of them the last few years. Naturally, after watching them for a few minutes, we both ran off and got cameras to try to capture pictures of them. Of course, by the time we got set up and remembered how to do really long exposures, the fireflies had wandered down the hill. This is the only picture that managed to capture any.

Not very impressive, is it? That is a firefly going from the upper left, down towards the right. Well, regardless of our photographic shortcomings, it was awfully nice to see them back again.
