Love Bugs

Lots of ladybirds in the garden today, and soon there are likely to be a few more! Photo completely unedited 
I’m so enjoying the macro lens and the new world it’s revealing to me - here, literally on my doorstep 
In the montage is a violet tanbark beetle (thanks Google lens), plus for those interested in the flowers from top left
Euphorbia Fireglow, Astrantia Major Buckland (with colour coordinated fly), cornflower, boysenberry flower,  and twinberry honeysuckle.
I think it will take time for me to settle after so much change in this rollercoaster of a year, both in my own life and the wider world, but while I take time to chart the what next - sunshine and simple pleasures feel such a blessing. I’m grateful.
