Fireflies and Rye
Fireflies are like twinkling stars we can hold in our hands.
Fireflies are like twinkling stars we can hold in our hands. They bring the magic of the cosmos closer to the ground. The blueness of the rye and pops of color from the yellow rocket mimic the cold metal of the grain bin and dancing light from the fireflies. The same tones sparkle in the night sky and Milky Way above this Midwest farm yard.
While admiring the blue hue of the rye and chasing fireflies all over my sister’s farm, I created this image on a summer night in June 2023.

Fireflies and Rye is also available as a matted 8 inch print.
I was featured in an issue of Chasing Light Magazine, Fireflies and Rye was one of the photos I shared in my spread.
