Damn Dan Quail!]). Sometimes I'll read a book with fireflies in it to the kids in my class, and I have to explain to them what fireflies are!shy_smileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12759773273488970372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15244825.post-69790130141537243242008-07-02T06:15:00.000-05:002008-07-02T06:15:00.000-05:00We are a few weeks ahead of you here with the fire...We are a few weeks ahead of you here with the fireflies coming out. I was so happy to see them in my backyard, which is nice and dark thanks to big shade trees. It always feels to me like summer has officially started when I see them for the first time.Ms. Maladjustedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05054025031590278027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15244825.post-63517425327269713412008-07-01T12:55:00.000-05:002008-07-01T12:55:00.000-05:00If you can't make it out to the country, there's a...If you can't make it out to the country, there's a park district lane that runs from Meadowbrook Park, through woodsy area along a creek, to Scottsdale drive, and on further; The fireflies light up the trees beautifully there too.<BR/><BR/>Janet: They are magical, and almost impossible to photograph to capture their essence.

Coincidentally, a friend recently mentioned to me that some years ago she'd experienced a wonderful firefly-related thing on the Monticello Rd. one night. I must get out and see for myself! I would love that.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01970997615781244805noreply@blogger.com
