A Ladies Lunch
Uploaded: May 19, 2013
Throughout the Ages
FEMALES HAVE BEEN KNOWN FOR EATING SALADS.
It's No Different For The Lady Bugs!
It's Spring Time In Our Yard And
Lady Bugs By The Dozens
Hibernated Under Our Leaves.
THEY ARE AWAKE NOW AND HUNGRY!
(If you look closely you will see she is doing a great job eating off the tip of the leaf she has settled upon!)

Hi Mumj! Thanks for inspiring me to enter this one. She is rather cute with water pebbles on her, isn't she?! I love my Canon pocket camera. I did have it in my pocket for most of the day and was inspired to take several photos of which you have seen most of them! :D I feel I am in kick start mode now. The SKY is the limit! Literally! :D
Thanks so much! #10699864

WM!!!!!!!! I am so sorry to hear this! Are you okay? Are you getting better? JUST what you needed with your bad back and ribs! I am -SO- sorry to hear this. I also injured mine a few months ago and have had physio therapy a few times. Four times, I think? It has been a rough go because my shoulder froze up while I babied it too much without getting help. I guess a SLING was the wrong thing to do and over babying it was, too. Try and move it as much as you can as soon as you are able to lift it up. I didn't do that and I really am really regretting it now. Having a FROZEN shoulder is spooky. Not a bright future for it now. Have you seen your doctor for good advice? (Also something I did not do right away like I should have! I wasted a month.) It is my left. I hope you are getting better? KEEP US POSTED!

Hi Paddy! Thanks dear NL Brother! :D You're so kind!

Brother John, we all should. I have been on a bit of a salad kick this past year and I use (eat) a thing called KALE. Soon I shall turn into a RABBIT so be watching for SP's of me with very long ears and front teeth! HeeHee!

Hi SSSKiki! Thanks for all that you said! :) I love your visits. Everyone is so kind to me and my work. :))) Sister, I think they would be called MAN BUGS. At least I always have called them this! They are the green or yellow ones and Denny says they bite! Don't try and pet them! They are grumpy. :F

Hi Nancy! So glad you guys are loving the droplets. I had actually just planted this plant (and several others) and was misting them all and saw her there and grabbed the camera! Now we have had rain all week. Poor lady bug has seen lots of water since she came out of hibernation! No thanks to me or mother nature!

Hi Kathy! Long time no see!!! :D Thanks so much! :) !!! Drop in anytime! Makes me happy to know I have made you happy!

Hi Amanda! I love shooting macros. I need a macro lens next and that is all there is to it.
Sorry for any type-o's folks. I never see them until I press SUBMIT. My life story!
-Laura :D
HAPPY SPRING TIME!

Hi Emile! My lady bugs are as happy as my new little squirrel who is eating the buds off of my flowers! Lol...
THANKS ALL! We were all so happy to see spring finally arriving in Calgary!
