Fireflies

One of the benefits of living in this desert land is the occasional splendid weather even in mid-February.  It was 70 degrees today, and so Herself took the wee dogs for a twilight stroll.  Each has a small light clipped to his or her collar to ensure they are somewhat visible, and in the darkness, as they stopped to pee on every plant they passed, they resembled lightning bugs flitting from bush to bush.
