We do too! I did the same thing this past weekend when I was home alone.

I've had fireflies here sometimes! You'd think I would have seen them more in the sem-rural community I grew up in, but I'll take what I can get.

bifrostdefender - oh that sounds so good! It was so lovely to see them. We never used to have fireflies in our yard but as we've been leaving the leaves over the years we've gotten more and more!

mistakesweremade: it was really cool

anothersadsong: that sounds great! Isn't it weird how things don't meet your expectations sometimes? Maybe the climate is better for them where you are!

That could be! I will admit that it took me an embarrassingly LONG time to figure out what they were.

It's hard to recognize what we haven't seen before!

That's true and probably why my brain also short-circuited when I saw coyotes.

Coyotes look so weird! They're an uncanny valley canine!

Much bigger than I was led to believe, honestly.

And they've got a lot of Presence so they feel even bigger.

Animals! So cool and sometimes scary!
