"Secrets are a lot like fireflies. Secrets are hard to catch; well, at least other people's are. as a friendship grows you slowly bring up the courage to invite them to catch fireflies with you. To catch secrets..."

Gorgeous night camping in the mountains of Vietnam. Sipping rice wine and watching the locals spear fishing below the waterfall. All under a gorgeous sky and the fireflies!
Back Together, fins extended. The yellow looks so much better than that trans-neon-orange.

Touching up the "mama serenity" model for display at BrickWorld Fort Wayne. Fixed some storage-related damage and finally put the trans-yellow panels into the Firefly Drive.
Cause I'd get a thousand hugs From ten-thousand lightning bugs As they try to teach me how to dance..
My best friend loves fireflies and so we use to go to watch them.
But this year and last year we could not watch the them.
I'm very sad , also her.
So I took the this photo .
Don't you look like to the fireflies light?
A series of 66 images composited into one. Each exposure was 10 seconds, f/2 at ISO400. Shot with a 7D + 35L
My favorite aspects of this one – the fog (of course), star trails, and fireflies reflected in the two pools of water on the path. Plane trails are also visible to the right of the frame.
This is a Firefly hack that uses a diffused enclosure, making a night light that can blink away for 24hrs on a single coincell battery. The Red LED is an "after market" modification, as the Firefly normally comes with 2 green LEDs..

First thing that struck my mind was the song Fireflies - Owlcity , it goes...
To ten million fireflies
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
But I'll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar'

Casey Martin of the Kamikaze Fireflies steps into the crowd at the Ohio Renaissance Festival to gather people for their next show. A smiling woman twirling a burning fireball does gather a lot of attention.
I really liked the amount of color in this shot. I was a little hard shooting with the sun to her back, and expose for the flames. Her shoulders go a little hot, but I think that's okay.
While doing test shots for an ISS pass, a firefly made a beautiful flight in front of the camera! 5 sec exposure at F/13.
The Sherman Firefly was a tank used by the United Kingdom in World War II. It was based on the US M4 Sherman but fitted with the powerful 3-inch (76.2 mm) calibre British 17-pounder anti-tank gun as its main weapon. Originally conceived as a stopgap until future British tank designs came into service, the Sherman Firefly became the most common vehicle with the 17-pounder in the war.
Though the British expected to have their own new tank models developed soon, British Major George Brighty championed the already-rejected idea of mounting the 17-pounder in the existing Sherman. With the help of Lieutenant Colonel Witheridge and despite official disapproval, he managed to get the concept accepted. This proved fortunate, as both the Challenger and Cromwell tank designs experienced difficulties and delays.
After the problem of getting the gun to fit in the Sherman's turret was solved, the Firefly was put into production in early 1944, in time to equip Field Marshal Montgomery's forces for the Normandy landings. It soon became highly valued as the only British tank capable of defeating the Panther and Tiger tanks it faced in Normandy at long range. In recognition of this, German tank and anti-tank gun crews were instructed to attack Fireflies first. Between 2,100 and 2,200 were manufactured before production wound down in 1945
