WHILE I STOOD LOOKING

at the pretty colours (an obvious signal of the turning of the season I think) of the sedum, I could not miss seeing the ladybird (with seven points). I had walked a bit in the garden looking for a picture. Not with much result till then, but this little creature I liked immediately. She reminds me of a russian babouschka.
Some idea is forming in my mind about my 1000th blip tomorrow. Wished Mischa was here and could help me.

My haiku:

I gathered berries
The black ones and hazelnuts
Surprise for the raccoon(s)

And the proverb:

Hij/zij behoort tot het gilde der gelapte kousen.

Translation: He/she belongs to the gild (guild) of the patched stockings.
