Fireflies and Shadows

Jar of Fireflies @ LiPeony
So odd it's already mid August and I see people gearing up for Fall, Halloween and Thanksgiving. I'm still not ready to say good bye to those lazy days of summer. Lately I've had a huge artist block and after looking at my drawings decided to do another firefly silhouette piece. There's something about fireflies that literally makes them magic you find in your backyard. Besides the fact that their light emission is like 98% efficient it reminds me of that lazy day with my bf a few years back when he caught me some fireflies. Even though I am afraid of bugs these fireflies were amazing... I have lived in the city all my life so this was the first time I've witness their magic for myself. They are really magical... now I know why they hold this place in people's hearts... it's the tiny things... nature's tiny living stars...

until next time... the most wonderful things come in the smallest package...

That's a lovely print!
At my parents' cottage in the middle of the countryside, I had a firefly get into my room at night, it was such a lovely company to have the lil light in the room with me!

I'm totally with you on the summer thing.... I take vacation late and am not 'down' with people around me discussing 'Back to School' or 'Summer's Over'!! I've still got a bit of time til I've returned to NYC living!! (I have so many wonderful childhood firefly magical memories!)
