Ladybug

I bought a monopod to help me shoot outdoor macros, but I didn't take it with me on the dog walk this morning, because I didn't intend shooting macros -- until I saw the ladybug. It was on a tall grass stem at chest height, so I didn't have to bend over to shoot. It wasn't windy down at the house, but up on the hill there were random thermals which made the grasses sway wildly. I took enough shots to end up with a couple of keepers.
