LADYBUGS AND ROSES


  In the garden...

There are angels...


Hosta and ivy...


Ferns...


An angel fountain...









Clematis...






Roses...


And, what is this?  


Ladybugs!








 Loving Spring time in the garden!

Always sweet hearing from you, your comments make my day!
Blessings,
Cindy

    Cindy, your images are stunning! How wonderful that you captured that sweet little ladybug with your camera. The ones that keep making their way into my outdoor shots are NOT of the "sweet" variety. ;)

    Thanks for linking to the party. I would love to have you join me each week.

    I was a bit confused, at first, when I didn't see the comment I was sure I left last week. Then it dawned on me - the Blogger "blunder"! I lost a lot of my comments from party participants when Blogger crashed, so they probably lost mine, too!

    Your garden is stunning! And your images are really beautiful. Thanks so much for linking them to the party.
