Into my gardens. Would you like a little onion, garlic, basil, oregano, thyme, romaine lettuce, tomato, banana pepper with that cilantro? Oh, you are a meat eater.  Go carnivore, feast on.  iPhone pic.

        Hi Marso, I’ve looked everywhere & I can find no evidence of it. It about drove me insane yesterday. I’m going to keep looking. Thank you so much for trying to help this computer idiot to try & find it. Thank you, thank you, thank you for telling me about it. I did share your information with my family. They were all impressed.

      Thank you, Nelson. Opposites on the color wheel (almost opposites) really make the eyes pop. I hope the ladybug was well fed & made the choice to stay! ~amy

    Honor the Ladybugs 🙂 As a Gardener for 15 years, I preserve the Ladybugs and import the Preying Mantis. Lovely clear close shot!

      Really? You can import the Preying Mantis? I’ve seen a few around, they do hid really well. I didn’t know that Preying Mantis was a garden friend. I’ve always felt lucky to spot one b/c they look like aliens. Great models. Thank you so much for the garden lesson. I LOVE learning new things. ~amy

        Believe it or not…Amazon sells egg cases now. Buy now and stash case into a bush or dense plant. Observe daily, there nothing quite like very very tiny eating machines, haha.

    Oh Amy! This photo makes me feel so happy! Maybe because we all remember the nursery rhyme about the ladybird, but those bright red bugs are always a short cut to childlike joy for me!
    It is such a good photo too! A great joy to discover on returning to my ‘reader’ column.- Karen

        With the iPhone, light matters…anything that is in shadow outside will be good quality. The iPhone camera is not so great with the sun. But if you touch the screen on the area you want in focus, then the camera will expose it to its best advantage. The way meters work on regular SLR cameras. Try it! ~amy
