Light, seeking light, doth light of light beguile; So ere you find where light in darkness lies... - William Shakespeare, Love's Labor's Lost Act 1. scene 1, 72–79

These little buggers are hard to photograph with a cell phone camera as mediocre as mine but they are so much fun!! But I paid the price. My pain lingers on, even days later: My elbows took heavy damage from a squadron of mosquitoes. Must we suffer for our art?? Oh woe! Oh muse!

Not so amusing...

At rest.

Dusk before the show ensues.
A soloist.
Koko helping (this is the correct spelling of her name).

It's the gold pinprick,not the orange glow.

Prerace jitters?

The neighbor's property is a mecca for fireflies...

The Match Race

... or perhaps the Pimlico of fireflies.

And the winner is.... Firefly by 5 lengths!
