      Thanks for the read. You may know this, but the fireflies flying around are the males. The females watch from the grass. When they are attracted, they adjust their flashes in agreement—firefly poetry. Probably should have named it that.

      A wonderful write Jerry with striking images and a great analogy in so few words

          No Jerry I did not know that and thanks for telling me I see many of them here and once in a while they make it into the house and bedroom. I find it enchanting laying in bed in the dark and watching them illuminate the room. You are always most welcome my friend

          Well having had the great experience of the firefly here in Tuscany July and August. I love your theme because it reminds me of one night when they particularly lit up the garden and it felt magical. 🌹

            Thanks, Teddy. I have fond memories of Tuscany.

            Jerry, so much warmth in so little space...a whole season, a whole courtship, and a little wonder flickering through it all. Delightful write. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
