Cattails and water skippers in a local ditch.



A very vivid ladybug on a maple tree.

Aw, I love ladybugs and don't see many of them these days.

[redsixwing]

I don't see many either. (I worry about that, some days..)

[yourlibrarian]

Yes, like the decline of bees and monarch butterflies, it's worrisome :(

[redsixwing]

Whoops! Fixed the image embeds.

Water skippers are so much fun to watch. They must be quite difficult to photograph - they're never still!

Pretty ladybug! I saw one the other day that was checkered in yellow and black. Very suprising.

Skippers are one of my favorite parts of summer. I got lucky and nabbed a photo with my phone when my shadow wasn't on the water. :D

Oh, wow, what a startling sight that must have been!
