Fireflies

I have been spending the last several evenings watching the fireflies as they begin lightening up at dusk. The mysteries of the natural world are truly awe inspiring.



I am reminded of the magic of childhood as I observe the twinkling flashes of light. Keith Carter's "Fireflies" image ©1992, so artfully captures the moment on film. Another artist, Michael Flomen, makes actual photograms with fireflies.

Contact 2001, Michael Flomen.

Here is a short video about the way he works....



The New York Times had a wonderful article on fireflies a few weeks back, Blink Twice if you Like Me.

Well, I say.....I do! I do!
