A Flash of Hope

It is amazing how such a small insect can create so much light. A firefly illuminated white wood anemone wildflowers with its brilliant yellow lantern in my garden. When I saw the firefly climbing up the flower, I got ready to capture its moment of magic. I knew the firefly would likely reach the top and flash to attract its mate. I was lucky. It flashed a couple of times before taking off, allowing me to press the shutter at the right moment and capture the beauty of its light illuminating the wildflowers.

This photograph felt like a new breath in my firefly photography and even my marriage started to blossom.
