Fireflies!

    This is yesterday's entry, meaning that today's follows momentarily. I took Tamara to Congaree National Park at sunset last night to see the synchronized firefly show. There were many many many more visitors than when I went last year. Much to my joy (not at all sarcastic), there was a car in front of us in both directions. So no chance of hitting a cat this time. So our visit was much more joyous than was mine last year. The fireflies put on a brilliant show even though all the photographs came out black. Just because the new phone camera works great in low light doesn't mean it will pick up points of light in VERY low light. That said, they did show up in a couple of pictures; just not well.
    In case you haven't heard, synchronized fireflies only appear in a few places in the world. The nearest (not counting yards in Columbia) is apparently Southeast Asia. So pretty cool stuff and we're very lucky. Very talented bugs we got up in here.
