Kentucky Christmas trees?

[Lady's Human]

Peepers (frogs) are loud.

I love nature's fireworks, the lightening bugs this year weren't that spectacular because we were getting drowned when they normally put on their show.

I feel your pain to a point, because while I was in Basic training at Ft. Bliss some of my platoon buddies thought I was insane for enjoying the sunrise over the mountains during PT.

There is a creature that hangs out in the trees that makes this really loud noise that is making me want to climb into the tree and see what it is!

With my luck it will eat flesh or make zombies out of zombies.

Years ago I went to visit a gal pal at college. We stayed up all night and went for a walk to the beach.

We found a spot in an area filled with tall grass and sat there to watch the sun come up. It was very cool because it was off a well traveled trail and we could watch the early birds jog or walk without them seeing us.

The only thing better that a sunrise, is a sunset?

Could that creature in the tree be a little tree frog, with large eyes & suction cups on its little toes?

That is pretty neat Richard. I think those of us that have grown up with such things take it for granted. A summer night in Pennsylvania is equally amazing. I was sitting on my porch steps with a friend a few nights ago and as it got dark the lightning bugs started coming out. Did you realize they live in the grass during the day? If you sit and watch as they come up from the ground as it gets dark it is an interesting show.

The others are right about the peepers, little frogs. They do make beautiful music.

This morning, I walked the dogs w/ a friend who'd been to Gettysburg over the 4th for the reenactment. Did I hear about Gettysburg? The Reenactment? The drive? The scenery. Nope, first thing I heard about was the awesome fireflies!

I'd not heard about this before, so it was all news to me. Now I come on here, and you tell me another Firefly story. It does sound magical!

She was told that different species will blink at different rates. Some females will adopt a foreign species blink rate and, when the male arrives, she bites off his head!

I wonder if I could videotape the lightning bugs coming out at night. It would be pretty cool. I imagine there are already some on YouTube but I can't access that website at work.

Ask and you shall receive! I hadn't thought of looking on there!


Love the music on this one - Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies!
