Fireflies

We spent the past couple of days at my in-laws' farm (I had some work to do in the area - very rural north central Arkansas). It was lot of driving for me, but evenings on the farm were lovely. I got some video of fireflies for my friend Karla, who has never seen a firefly!

This first one has a lovely soundtrack - bullfrogs and a whippoorwill.





And this one has my mother in law as a soundtrack, but features two "hor-says" (as Amelia calls them).



Okay... now I'm really curious, where do you live and do you have fireflies where you are? Apparently Florida and Southern California do not.

Those videos are awesome.

I love fireflies. I remember seeing them for the first time as a kid. We don't have them in Florida so I was so excited to see them!

Now I want to go see some fireflies.

we have fireflies here, in fact when we drove in around dusk from dinner, there were so many. Of course, we're in Arkansas too.

I love fireflies! They are amazing little creatures. Isn't amazing that a living creature could have a light inside of it!? God is awesome!

Loved the running horses too. Beautiful!

I enjoyed the peaceful country videos this morning. We're country folk too and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

Love you friend.

Oh goodness...here in Texas, we have plenty of fireflies! I love them! I used to catch them and put them in jars because I loved how it looked.......but....somehow....after they were in there for a couple of hours....they stopped moving.....and stopped glowing...
:( (oops...forgot to poke holes in the top....)

I learned pretty quickly to just watch them outside and enjoy them there..haha...

Love the soundtrack on that first video - my kind of music.

I'm in Wisconsin and yes, we have fireflies - some years more than others.
