Fireflies* Cool, mellow animation of fireflies *(or as we call them here in Georgia, "lightning bugs") on a summer night. Embedded video w/sound.
The first time I ever saw them was on my first visit to Ohio in May 2004 (was it really three years ago?). Driving back from somewhere, George suddenly pulled over to the side of the quiet country road and there in front of us, covering several acres, was a field full of lightning bugs.
It was like a sky full of stars, brought down to earth just for us.
