Ladybug's Closeup

Posted by Jen (Alpharetta, United States) on 12 March 2007 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

It took me like 10 shots to finally get a good closeup of her!
I assume it's a she, but I can't be sure, I wasn't allowed to get that close lol ; )

I have uploaded some of my favorite images to redbubble for sale http://www.redbubble.com/people/jenseye
Please go check it out and if there is something you like in my portfolioi here on Am3 that isn't posted on redbubble please let me know and I can upload for purchase. Thank you!

Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United States

I'm having fun looking at your portfolio and came upon this one.
In my other life I was a Ladybug ... not, but my husband has called me his Ladybug for going on 49 years.
My user name would have been L@dybug but it wouldn't go through for AM3.
I LOVE THIS PHOTO!!!

@Judy: Guess we must be on at the same time! : )
Thank you so much...that was with my old camera!
Glad you like it, wish the name would have worked out for you, that would have been great!
