蛍 fireflies
Today, I went to the next town, Yugawara, to see fireflies. I stood at the riverside watching the hundreds of beautiful blinking lights. They turned a bush into an amazing fairyland. I was born and raised in Tokyo, and I had never seen fireflies until Imoved to the countryside a few years ago. I used to love artificial lights, but now I finally noticed the beauty of the nature's lights. I do look forward to seeing them every year.
