Fireflies in Lakeport. Fireflies were out by the hundreds, begging to have their picture taken. Who was I to say no?
This shot was taken after a cop pulled over a speeder a few feet down the road. His rollers provided the red cast to the scene.

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

LOTS of fireflies (aka lightning bugs) this year, following a very mild winter. Many were low to the ground where i the few years past one had to watch the tree tops for most of the twinkling.

firefly restaurant in agana is closing down at the end of the month. this is your last chance to get their excellent pasta!
This is 60 seconds worth of fireflies. Light pollution, cars, and a full moon that was to rise in a half hour add light to the scene. I was shooting at f1.4 so depth of focus was pretty shallow, but it seems to work having the background out of focus... I might have cropped in at bottom and right? - but liked those fireflies against the dark trees at the right too much...
