A little while ago, many of our meadows had a late season yellow flower in them. Now, we have a few of those yellow blossoms left but very few compared to a few weeks ago. One day, those flowers had beautiful Lady Bugs on them.
I loved the combination of yellow and red so I made lots of photos of the Lady Bugs. Doesn't that front dot on on the next Lady Bug look like a heart? What a beauty she is!
Another glorious red sight has been our Indian Paintbrush. They are almost finished blooming at our elevation but they had a banner year! They were numerous and their red was incredibly vibrant.
Their color looked great along with Shyla's fur.
I have been so surprised by our year of amazing wildflowers. They've somehow thrived despite the dryness. I have smiled at them almost every day this summer!
I bet the ladybug is a girl... she knows how to pose and how to pick the best background ;O)
ReplyDeleteOK, I had to take a side trip to google search before I commented. when you said isn't she a beauty I thought she is gorgeous and so is the photo, them the mad mind thought, it could be a male. I asked Gs and yes there are male and female lady bugs. oh well now we know... this one must be female because of the heart. super shots of her and that lady in the flowers at the end is once again stunning
ReplyDeleteThose flowers and your pictures are just gorgeous. Loved the up close Ladybug shots and of course Miss Shyla shines among the flowers.
ReplyDeleteYour meadow flowers are so gorgeous! We haven't seen a lot of ladybugs this summer. They are so cute!
ReplyDeleteAs always, you shared some spectacularly beautiful flowers. LOVE the lady bug with the heart shape on its back! Great capture. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful macro shot of the Ladybug and her heart!!! Of course, it pales in comparison to the last shot of sweet Shyla!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen a so up close and personal she is a beauty. I see the heart too.
ReplyDeletePups and posies make me smile
Hugs madi and mom
Those flowers, maybe the plants can adapt to less rainfall, Shyla, a perfect photo setting for your beautiful colour too.
ReplyDeleteMany of the flowers around here died out for a while with the heat, but they are coming back now. Close up photos of bugs are so cool to look at!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are simply gorgeous! I love the detail on the Ladybug -- and that spot does look like a heart!
ReplyDeleteSuch warmth and beauty in your shots!

The colors are beautiful, and frame Shyla's sweet face perfectly. ♥
