Followed this lightning bug for a bit while working on the backyard photo project. It flashed a few times to my delight.
At some point, I'll write the piece.

A street directional sign is upside down with word 'only'. Adjacent to the sign pole is a streetlight with a portion of the lit lamp visible. The background is peppered with other lit street streetlamps and the W.W. Griest Building.

Take a mental break or a mental break will take you. First develop in over a month. Felt good to get back to the lab. Albeit a bit clumsy.
