A firefly joined us for dinner on the patio at Nomad Pizza. Nice ambience! (Inge was afraid he would fall into the bottle and drown, so she put her finger into the bottle immediately after I took these pictures.)

Always wanted to find a picture for this song - finally did ;-) Got those shots yesterday in between rain showers in my backyard!!!
I love fireflies - it's like fireworks in my backyard at night ;-))
Ocean Beach California - Sunset 16:52.
As we watched the sunset, Fireflies by Owl City played on the radio. Great song - check it out.
You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
'Cause they'd fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
You'd think me rude
But I would just stand and stare
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems.
It just seemed to fit perfectly.
Tomorrow we travel through Palm Springs and the Mojave Desert, hopefully crossing Route 66 on the way to Las Vegas.
I guess that we should make the best of the sunshine before returning home on Friday.
This Waymo Firefly is one from a series of testing vehicles for autonomous driving. It doesn't have a steering wheel or other controls for the driver. In 2015 it was used for the world’s first totally self-driving trip in Austin, TX. Waymo stopped use of the Firefly in 2017 and now has a fleet of adapted vehicles from regular car brands. This one is on display in the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA.
Thank you to all the artists who hornoured the gallery with their creative and beautiful images. It was a pleasure meeting you. To the many visitors - thank you for taking some time to visit, for your comments, purchases and donations. Thank you to my friends and to my co-owners for your support, visits and help.
It was two very memorable years.
I spotted some Firefly larva on a tree trunk. They were in various stages of transformation. First time I have actually seen them changing!

I have been trying to reproduce fireflies on paper for a long time. I think I found a pretty good way to do it with alcohol inks. The girl and cat were water-colored and fussy cut.
July 2015
I took this time exposure at sunset in late May. Notice the head of Draco in the center. The four yellow blurs are the track of a firefly crossing my field of view. I posted several other shots of fireflies and constellations today.
Another beetle found on vegetation at the Eno Confluence Natural Area on a pleasant late spring day.
Firefly - Photinus species (~7mm)
I suppose this could be the abundant Photinus pyralis, but I do not think there is any way to tell.

I am not completely happy with this but I still like it. This is the second time I have shot fireflies but the first one was just to test it and I decided the result was not Flickr worthy. It is one of my shots with the rented A7 and a 135mm F3.5 FD prime. This still isn't quite the firefly shot I have been looking for but, to restate, I do like it. This is a composite of about 15 frames. The warm colors on the foreground are from the lights in my house. Once I get an A7 of my very own and a shutter release for it I will spend more time on another.
