When the darkness begins to settle like a blanket over the land is when i often find myself out at the barn doing chores, tending the animals, enjoying the cooler than boiling heat of the day to spend a few minutes looking over the lambs, or walking the dogs. Last night was a night much the same as that and as I looked out towards the field, there, on the left, is a dense line of trees between the property and the next and it happened to glow. With twinkles all over the place it looked like the night sky had fallen to earth and landed right here in the back pasture - against the trees. In the open air field there was nothing. Against the trees were thousands of little irridescent green lights blipping on. Blipping off. I sat and watched it for at least 20 minutes, mesmerized by the show. The painting shown came from here:http://www.streetmorrisart.com - the artist is Robin Street-Morris and it's titled Firefly watching II. Enjoy!
