Bunnies and Fireflies

I don't want to add to any misconception that there isn't much to do here in Iowa, but Rob and I have spent many of our evenings sitting in our living room watching the bunnies and fireflies. Well, we've only been here 10 days so far but we've done that for at least 6 or 7 nights. I think it just amazes us because that doesn't happen where we lived in California. I don't think there are any fireflies at all in California and they are just so fun to watch. I like to think of it as a mini-fireworks show. You don't know where or when they're going to light up, and then it's just so fun to watch the bright burst of light. I tried to take photos of our favorite little friends to share with you. The bunny wasn't so hard to capture with a camera but the firefly was very tricky. They only light up for about 2 seconds and it takes longer than that for the camera to take the picture. I just took photos of the dark night until I finally captured one that you'll see below. It's the one that is the blurr ray of light and you would swear was not a picture of anything but rather the camera mistakenly going off while it's operator is trying to figure out what is going on. But that is not the case- it really is a firefly. It isn't anywhere as cool as they are to see in person but I wanted to share it anyhow because I am so proud of myself for actually getting a picture of one, even if it does look like a blurry ray of light!
