  1. I can’t even imagine what kind of plant that might be.

    • Thank you, Scott. I was so happy to see that ladybug there. I almost didn’t “spot” her. 🙂

      • You’re welcome…I’m so glad you did “spot” her…. 🙂

  3. They especially like to hide in dead plants!

  5. With the ribbing of those cases, my first thought was Aliens plant! I expect the ladybird is a bit more comfortable/happy than that though.

    A question, Melanie (sorry, I couldn’t find a contact e-mail for you). I do a weekly post on my blog, Imagination is spicy, featuring images by a photographer whose work I like and admire? I wanted to ask your permission to feature some of your photos. Please do e-mail me if you’d like to chat about it: little.squirrel AT gmail.com. Hope that will be okay!

  6. A ladybug? This is a fantastic photo! I love the colors too. The detail and the light are perfect. 🙂

    • Yes, a sweet little ladybug, nicely nestled in some sort of pod. I can’t remember what flower was there. This is in Miss Mary’s garden!

  8. This really looks like an alien encounter. What variety of flower is this? It’s creepily fascinating. I love it.

    • I’m not sure what flower this is/was. I’ll have to ask Miss Mary (in whose garden I was creeping around). I find her garden just as fascinating when the flowers are dead as then they are just bursting out in the early spring.

  9. Very alienesque. Great light in the shot.

  10. That would rewrite a few laws of science! Great spot.
