Visited by a ladybug
Just as I was getting ready to download the photos from my camera last night (I’d been out photographing the wonderful fall foliage), a ladybug flew by me, and stopped to rest on one of our lamps.
I have no idea how it got inside our home, since we have screens at our windows and doors, but they always seem to find a way, don’t they? It must have been woken up from its hibernation by the unusually warm weather we had (over 60F). I realized that I’d never gotten macro shots of a ladybug before, so this was my chance.
There was no time to set up a tripod, so I took these handheld, at 1600 ISO, with my 100mm macro lens. There was some overhead light from the lamp, just enough to get the right atmosphere. The poor thing still had fuzz on it from who knows where. They find the strangest places to spend winter…
It’s Thanksgiving today here in the US, so if you celebrate it, I hope you have a wonderful one!
