Ladybug Cleared for Takeoff

The Ladybug wears no disguises.
She is just what she advertises.
A speckled spectacle of spring,
A fashion statement on the wing....
A miniature orange kite.
A tiny dot-to-dot delight.
~J. Patrick Lewis, "The Little Buggers"

I spotted this ladybug walking slowly along the petal of a daffodil. Ready with camera, I stood over the flower, focused, and snapped just as she started to takeoff - The timing couldn't have been more perfect... : )) Larger view here...

One more day and the weekend will be here!
