Capture - IF


(click image to enlarge)


As a child, barefoot in the setting summer sun, I spent hours upon hours running around the backyard capturing fireflies. I remember finding jars and having my mother punch holes in the top so I could collect them. Little did I know that bugs don't last very long that way.

I have a mealworm in a container that belongs to my son. It's for school project. He will check on its tranformation every once in a while to see it changes from a pupa to a beetle. Isn't it an exciting experience?

I like this, it's simple and it's cute.. nice colours. I think I have only ever seen fireflies once in my whole life. Even then, I don't know, maybe I made it up :D
