Fire Fly's

[pitw]

The boy's and mom got home from the Wainwright stampede at 11pm so I said let's go look for fireflys.  Ma gave me that  look and went to bed.  Bob, Don and I saw a kazillion of the little flying sparks and they had a great time chasing them.





I don't how the Sam hill you are supposed to focus a camera in the dark but it is a little smarter than me.



I tried to get pictures of hundreds lit up at once but all I got was black
While out enjoying nature on the shortest night of the year we heard more coyotes howling than there probably is in the state of NY.  Young sharp yips of pups right up to a lone howl of I'm guessing a big ol' dog.  They were everywhere around us so as usual being out with my boys in nature was far more fun than watching any TV show I can think of.

When I was a kid, our place was thick with fireflies or as we called them, lightning bugs. Now we see a few here and there, but not like 35, 40 years ago for some reason.
