Mystical Waterfall with Fireflies

I have been coming to this area to photograph fireflies for several years. This time I explored creek off the beaten path and discovered this beautiful scene. I waited until it got dark, and than the fireflies started to blink. Soon enough there were hundreds of them around me. It was a joyful magical experience. ❤ I was glad I was able to capture this mystical firefly experience.
