7.00 pm. I just went out to the back garden to take my washing in before it rains. It is very dark but an almost full moon is shining through the coconut palms. I noticed that there were a lot of fireflies in and around the palm fronds....such a magical sight...sometimes there are a lot like tonight and sometimes none at all. The firefly is actually a dull looking little brown beetle and in the daylight is not at all interesting to look at. But in the dark, when it displays this amazingly bright little spark of light...on..off...on...off...and there are many altogether, the effect is so beautiful.
One of the benefits of tropical island life!
