fireflies and Neowise

[asakiyume]

The fireflies are for some reason guarding our roof, and I'm grateful for the company at the very least.

I could see Neowise from my driveway today, brightest of the three days I've seen it, seeming to dive for the horizon headfirst--be careful! Do you know how to swim? Bright and cold (though the air is so warm). Maybe the fireflies are lifeguards for this comet--but it only *looks* like it's diving for the horizon--luckily for us, he remains swimming in the solar eddies out beyond our atmosphere.

Hmmm. It wasn't going quite so straight down. Its long hair was streaming a little to the right.

Glad you got to see it! :)

I'm trying to see it enough to last me a lifetime--who knows when I'll next see a comet, if ever?

Well, not Neowise, that's for sure. :)

I still remember seeing Halley's comet, but I probably won't be around to see it when it comes around next time.
