Ladybug, ladybug...stick around, you are both beautiful and beneficial to my garden. And isn't the texture of texture of the Lamb's Ears wonderful? Especially with the morning dew...
Beautiful photos!!
ReplyDeleteI love your photos, Jen. We buy ladybugs for our garden if we don't see enough of them settling there. We learned the hard way that you have to release them at sunset.
ReplyDeleteThe Chaucer blog cracked me up. I know a couple of literary geeks (besides me) that are going to love it. Jen
Jen those are very good clear photos. The ladybird is perfect. Did you use Macro? You must have very steady hands.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Chaucer! It's been a long time--
