July 3, Catching Lightning Bugs

What is summer without lightning bugs? Apparently they don't really live out here in Colorado (I've heard rumors of small groups living near the soccer fields in North Boulder and at St. Vrain State Park in Longmont.). Which means that I was eagerly awaiting their nightly arrival at 8:30 p.m. while I was in New York. My uncle and step-dad helped catch them so I could attempt to photograph them. In the photo, Chris has one in his hands.
