Description Sevenspotted Lady Beetle,Coccinella septempunctata
(Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)
taking shelter from an ice storm we had. I found her in my backyard on our trampoline while out looking for icicles and whatever else tickled my fancy to shoot. I thought she had froze to death but, I was wrong after I took my pics I brought her inside in case I wanted to take more later. After a few minutes I noticed her tooling about my computer

This one is as beautiful as the first one. I love the ice around that acorn cap and the bold color of ladybug. Great framing too - so suitable for that icy feeling.


And I hate the shortage of time - I see few more great shots from you in my inbox and I know they will have to wait still. But I will be back to them as soon as I can.

No worries take your time or you could just delete them I am so far behind myself I am trying not to get stressed over it.... think I need a new philosophy instead of thinking I am behind I think I will look at it like everyone else is ahead or something like that
