No Pictures of Fireflies

This is the the of year that fireflies just love. Do you remember them when you were a child? Did you ever try catching them in a jar, and watch as they flickered on and off? I don't know if folks in big cities ever get to see these little marvels. Last night my husband and I were coming home from a quick Wally World run. As we turned off the highway onto the dirt road near our home, we pulled over for a minute. The meadow was alive with little sparkles, it was God's version of white Christmas lights. I grabbed my Canon PowerShot and made an attempt at a photo...it was dusk and I knew it was unlikely but I tried...to no avail. The camera may be capable of those types of shots, but until I force myself to read the owner's manual I won't know how! Those are the times I wish I had the old Canon AE Program 35mm in the car. I knew how to monkey with F-stops and speeds and such. I am less certain with the newer Auto-Everything cameras. So I will leave it to your imagination, that lovely green field bordering the Lake, and the thousands of fireflies winking on and off in flight.

I'll attach a couple pictures if the Iris , they are history now, but oh, what a show we got this year. My friend Sydney gave me starts of ever so many iris about three years ago, and this year they were gorgeous.
