lucky shot

Okay, I'll wrap up my 'ladybug' series for now with today's photograph. I took it in my native plant garden almost two years ago during the springtime. The flowers, which were abuzz with activity, are from the Coffeeberry (Rhamnus californica). As you can imagine by the scale provided by the ladybug, the flowers are tiny and will become berries. I especially like how the spots near its head come together to form a heart-shape.
