The really odd thing is that I never see these ladybirds other when they're all gathered together like this!
I'm delighted to recently have had three four line poems published on Quatrain Fish : here, here and here!
and to have one of my robin photos included in the British Birdlovers Seasonal robin gallery (my robin is number 137 out of 138).
Following on from yesterday's blog post about the Paris Climate Talks, here's an excellent paper from Local Futures about how localisation and system change could combat climate change. (I've now added this link to yesterday's post too).

I love our lady beetles, except when they come indoors! They bite, too!
Wow, it is neat to see the ladybirds all grouped together. Cool sight and photos. Happy Monday, enjoy your new week!
Never seen anything like that ever! I might just have a sneaky look at likely spots however, in every sense!
Congratulations on your published poems and photos. A few weeks ago, I was contacted by the Michigan DNR (Dept of Natural Resources) about using some of the winter x-country ski scenes of mine from the Yankee Springs area. It was an honor to be selected.
I've never seen so many of those yellow ladybirds ...
I went and had a look at the robin photo's.
Well done on both the photo and the poems.
All the best Jan
Those ladybirds are amazing! So unusual; I wonder if this variety is more common in the north ... Lovely photos, Juliet. And congratulations on your publication successes.
Hi Caroline, I just checked their distribution map http://www.ladybird-survey.org/species_desc.aspx?species=6455+60301 and it looks like they're less common up here! It's so odd, as I never see them except when they're grouped together like this! But they must go somewhere in the summer!
