Thank you Annemette. I accidentally found your similar shot when I was trying to show someone at work some of your shots. I started laughing when I saw yours, they are very similar.

Such a sweet moment captured with your camera, Marlyce! Great composition with the leaf diagonally in the image. Well done! Best wishes, Annemette PS: I also took a similar shot a while ago that is on UF:-)

Ha ! Nicely named Marlyce. Very clear 'bugs' with a nice fading of the leaf and excellent composition. Michele~

That's ok. I think that when people sleep together the don't do much sleeping either.

So stunning and clear- brilliantly caught! I like the diagonal of the leaf.

James, your comment really made me laugh. I heard a saying one time "friends are friends and pals are pals, but buddies sleep together". do you think they might be buddies? I'm not sure as they are not sleeping.

Ray, you always make me smile! I remember errands too, are you telling me they weren't for real? I still trying to find a left-handed smoke shifter my dad sent me for, and all the people in our house were right handed, and what is a "smoke shifter"?
I think I like the ladybirds rather than "bugs" as they are pretty (and bugs are not) and when I try to hold one they fly away.

Carlen, thank you for the visit. Doyle is always hilarious! I did look at cropping this several different ways and I really like the length of leaf and thought I would lose so much by cropping closer...next time I will ask the lady bugs if they can wait while I put another plant in the empty space (smile). Thank you for the visit and glad you do like it.

OK Marlyce, I guess I'll take your word for that:):) I do remember my parents sending me on errands that took an awfully long time to complete and that I could never see any great point to; shock, horror....have we been conned sweetie????
This is a wonderful macro nature study my dear Marlyce with great clarity, beautiful colour tones and an absolutely superb dof. Well done to you. I know you call these little uns lady bugs over there, did you kwon we call them ladybirds here?? All the best.......Ray

haha Doyle you're hilarious
Well I'm not going to comment on what they're doing but I like this macro regardless. When I first looked at it I noticed there is a lot of empty space in this photo but I think if you cropped it then you would lose the length of the leaf and that'd be bad.
