tweet week: friday
Last night I was rewarded for taking the rubbish out to the bin. I saw fireflies for the first time in my life! Coming up from the creek into our back garden, floating around slowly like fish, blinking on and off. Coming in close and then drifting away. Most definitely one of the coolest things I've ever seen.

wow, great photo! sort of spooky.
Wow! There are fireflies in Australia? Not sure why, but, that amazes me. I am so glad you got to see some. They are so magical. When I was little my mom would give us each a canning jar with holes cut in the lid and a slice of apple in the bottom. My brothers and I would carefully catch them and then keep them in our room at night. We would let them go in the morning. Wonderful night lights.
I miss fireflies. We had them so much where I grew up in Tennessee, and by my grandparents' lake. They're so magical. xo
I LOVE this little tale. I had forgotten the fireflies in your area. So magical. I've never seen them anywhere else.
