a picture for your summer night

fireflies. 


is there anything more evocative of 
summer nights from childhood? 
why is it, i wonder, that fireflies remind
us of being kids? when do we stop
chasing fireflies? stop noticing them? 
are they dying out or does the world
change so much when you get older? 

either way, they make it summertime.

  2. Oh I wish it were my photo! It is super beautiful, but I got it from this source: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jimrichardsonphotography/2991749152/lightbox/.

    I have been inspired to take more night photos though! :)
