About 10:00 last night, The Squire came inside and asked me to come with him.
We live on the edge of a state park, and are surrounded by huge, tall trees. Every tree within sight was loaded with fireflies, as far up as we could see! The entire yard shimmered with thousands of blinking lights. It was absolutely enchanting! It was all the more ethereal because there is no way we could have captured it with a camera.

OMG! That must have been amazing to see:)
It was! It was! We used the video on The Squire’s cell phone, but it didn’t work at all. I understand that fireflies are only on this continent. Our friends from France and the UK were mesmerized! They’d never seen them before.
I’m not sure I’ve ever seen them either
Must have been a pretty sight. Pity you did not have a camera to show us. Awesome!
