Lightning Bugs.... (Fire Flies, if you prefer). [View all]

My daughter bought 3 acres in rural, western N.J. The perimeter of her yard is filled with mature trees, maybe 75 - 90 ft. in height. We visited last evening, just enjoying the sunset. Rachel said we should stay and watch the Fire Flies. They will begin flashing in the un-mowed grass. Then they will rise higher and higher until the trees look as if they are filled with hundreds of fiber optic lights.

We stayed until 10:00, watching until the yellow lights reached the tops of the trees. Stayed, just enjoying being.
