fireflies

    Even though it's cold and snowing today, yesterday was warm and sunny. So we caught some fireflies -- or lightning bugs -- in a jar.

      Ah, what a great idea, Mike !
      Lightning bugs -- in a jar !
      Could I borrow one ?
      I will put it near my bed, so my dreams would be bright and happy :-)

      Wow. You got that at 100 ISO! They must have been generating quite a bit of light!

      Glow little glow-worm, fly of fire
      Glow like an incandescent wire
      Glow for the female of the species
      Turn on the AC and the DC
      This night could use a little brightnin'
      Light up you little ol' bug of lightnin'
      When you gotta glow, you gotta glow
      Glow little glow-worm, glow

      Glow little glow-worm, glow and glimmer
      Swim through the sea of night, little swimmer
      Thou aeronautical boll weevil
      Illuminate yon woods primeval
      See how the shadows deep and darken
      You and your chick should get to sparkin'
      I got a gal that I love so
      Glow little glow-worm, glow

      Glow little glow-worm, turn the key on
      You are equipped with taillight neon
      You got a cute vest-pocket *Mazda*
      Which you can make both slow and *fazda*
      I don't know who you took a shine to
      Or who you're out to make a sign to
      I got a gal that I love so
      Glow little glow-worm, glow

      Galey: I think so too!
      John: I shot this using a !%6/stop macro optimizing lens.
      Tom: :-D
      Ewa: I'll gladly send you some; however, I think that you would brighten up their dreams!

      Am still not fully free of bondage. Stole a few hours for a quick runthrough. And what a great series of shots and thoughts. Keep going folks.
