The other end seems far away."

SUBJECT: Culvert pipe
This was not the image I wanted to capture tonight. There were a ton of fireflies and StellaDella was catching them during MonkeyBoy's late game (8pm). I tried and tried to get a photo of a firefly while it was glowing but not luck. Oh well, try, try again tomorrow. This is a culvert pipe that you cross to get to the fields. My mom had told us when we were little that alligators lived in these pipes so we should never crawl in them. I have passed that little bit of false information family tradition to my kids. It still works - they have never tried to crawl into one!
