Such a lovely picture, so dainty on the edge of that flower that little ladybird, hope they didn’t fall off?! 🙂

I so love the quotes you pair with your wonderful photos, Robyn! And I love the composition you chose for this photo. You’ve used the negative space filled with beautiful bokeh to great advantage – the pretty little ladybug is certainly the focal point!

Beautiful macro, Robyn. Looks to be what we call a lady bug, but I’ve heard other names for it. From what I understand they are very beneficial in the garden.
