For this Illo friday entry I wanted to convey a few things I miss about summers greatly.
1) Roasting marshmallows
2) fireflies, and
3) watching the stars
As much as I love Swedish summers, and the nearly eternal daylight we get in Stockholm, summer will always feel like it’s missing “something.” Fireflies don’t exist here, marshmallows are hard to find, and the sky is too light at night to see the stars.
This was a great topic. Thanks Illo Friday.

ohh luv star gazing myself… dreaming how tiny they seemed here and yet when gazed from there how our planet seemed a speck.
hmm.. luv surrounding myself with artists hehe
I just love your illustration. I don’t have the opportunity to be around fireflies often (we live in Oregon) but I find them so charming and magical!
Ohhh, I like this!
Love it!!!
I would love to go to Sweden. It seems like a nice place to go.
I like it:)
Lovely! Makes me REALLY miss fireflies. We don’t have them here. I’m jealous!
Found your blog on blogexplosion. I like the illustrations.
Good luck with your Swedish sweetie! LOL
Nice…well, I know what you mean. We’re sharing same feelings here.
BUT, I just have to say something. When I was little and spent the summers on our boat we had fireflies. I still remember them (and on what island). They were all hanging above a bush…….very nice. Nice memories too.
STORA och massor med kramar,

I like the fire. It looks so calm for something that we normally think as fierce.
I adore your illustrations and will always love fireflies. That’s part of the magic of a summer’s night.
I LOVE this. Especially the texture/graininess. Really makes me want to go out and make some S’mores!
Love your Ill. No fire flies, now that is sad. Have a good week!
This is wonderful! I love the texture and lighting.
