Hide and Seek

My neighbor was out walking her dog in the back yard.

She asked..."What are you doing out here?"

"I'm looking for bugs, or anything small."

I left her, and continued on. I leaned up against a tree, closed my eyes, counted to 20...and announced..."READY OR NOT...HERE I COME!!"

It didn't take long. The ladybug was hiding under a petal of a small white flower. I hate to admit it, but I had to "urge" her to enter the bowl of the blossom.

Can you imagine being a male ladybug? Quite a conundrum.
