Shelter

Rain for most of the day. When it stopped I went out to the curry plant to check on the wee mantis nymph that I blipped yesterday. It was out in the open waiting for prey, looking rather pretty among the raindrops. (See extra photo). While there I found a twospotted ladybird sheltering in a head of curry flower buds.

It’s my son’s birthday, but he is away. How I miss him. It is the first time in his life I have not spent some time with him on his birthday. I’m very thankful of all the others when I did.
