On the one hand, it was incredibly special and SPECTACULAR for me to see fireflies again for the first time in probably 55-60 years.
Out in back of the Hartness House is this lovely area surrounded by trees and a couple of fountains and a gazebo. When we first pulled in it was after midnight, and the sky overhead was crystal clear, filled with more stars than I’ve seen in years and years. Some of them were blinking and moving, and the trees were also filled with blinking, yellow stars.
Click on it to blow it up and you can see a couple of them. I tried every night to get better pictures but this was as good as it got. I’ll just have to settle for the memories. Which, as I said, were SPECTACULAR!
