I have to tell you about fireflies. I like this time of the year with the little worms (actually little beetles).
In the evening going out at dusk, making a nice evening walk, seeing these little fireflies fly. This is a miracle of nature for me. I love it!
Have you ever asked yourself why these little creatures send out so much light?
I have looked it up now, so I do not just find it nice, but also understand why they shine so brightly.

The Inner Life of Animals
Some time ago I promised you telling you about the second book I have read of Peter Wohlleben “The Inner Life of Animals” (see my blog of November 2016). What shall I say? A great and very interesting book! Something new? For a lot of you, definitely yes, but actually when we deal with world and the animals, are we better or wiser than the animals around us? I do not think so! Why should a squirrel not be solicitous to its offspring? Why can a deer not be sad when something happens to her baby or family? Emotions belong only to us humans? For me a definite no.
Just read this beautiful book and you surely will think differently. I do not want to tell more about it. Just let yourself be surprised and enjoy the beautiful, funny and sometimes sad stories of the different animals. You definitely will look with other eyes to pigs, goats, ravens, mice, monkeys, etc.
