Last day to enter for firefly event in the Smokies.

Hoping to see synchronous fireflies at Elkmont? Enter the lottery on Recreation.gov between April 24 at 10 a.m. (EDT) and April 27 at 11:59 p.m. (EDT) for your chance at a vehicle reservation. This year's viewing period is May 20-27.
During the viewing period, hundreds of visitors gather near Elkmont to watch Photinus carolinus, a firefly species known for its synchronous flashing. The park limits access to the Elkmont area during the eight-day period of predicted peak firefly activity to ease traffic, keep visitors safe and protect the fireflies during their mating season.
Apply, cross your fingers, and get ready for one of the Smokies' most spectacular sights!
Visit the park website to learn more.

The photo behind me is one of the shots I got in the Smoky Mountains called “Singing Waterfall”.

IA Magazine (Iowa) has published 8 page cover article with my firefly photos and interview. Enjoy the read. Link to the whole magazine online is in comments.
