When I was a kid I remember seeing SO many fireflies on warm summer evenings.  Now it’s a rarity to see one in my garden, but I  just saw some a few nights ago and it was a real treat!  This little ‘lightning bug’ was perched on a pink coneflower at Stonehedge Gardens as I was photographing with the Lensbaby and Soft Focus Optic.  There are only a few bugs that I would deliberately get this close to – butterflies, ladybugs and fireflies are about it!  🙂
