Watching...

Paul Iddon

I watched this ladybird walking around the leaves of an aquilega in the garden today, the sun was strong and warm and she was very active, pausing every now and then for what reason we'll never know.

Then there was a brief moment of inactivity as she looked back at me and the lens, and maybe wondered what that "big black eye-like thing" is staring right back...

The moment was fleeting, and seconds later she was walking all over the leaves again...


C&C as always...

nice shot. because of their round shape, small visible head, and constant motion, they are tough to do.
