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.

Thank you so much
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
