Beautiful nights with fireflies.

I grew up in Oregon and had only heard about fireflies but never got to experience them in all their glory until I moved to Texas. Tonight was yet another beautiful night that I had the privledge to share with one of my sisters and our good friend. Some would say there was nothing memorable about an hour or so taken out of one day to snap some pictures and eat fast food in a park. I say that these little details shared amongst friends mean everything. As we watched the sunsetting over the Dallas skyline my eyes drifted to the activity of the fireflies hovering over the grass. I am amazed at the bright light those tiny little bugs can emit. You have to pay close attention, though since that can't seem to let it shine for very long. I wonder why they shine, what purpose does it serve? I like to think they shine just for me to enjoy. Oh and for my sis and friend.
