I've been enjoying a little photography time. I don't seem to have any inspiration when I don't feel good. It feels good to feel good and even better to get out and take pictures.
This lady bug was in the bush beside my chair that I sit in to read on the porch. It was very busy eating bugsall day. I took some pictures with my Nikon D60 and some with my little canon that has an awesome macro setting.
This one is from my little canon point and shoot. I just love it!
I just love the detail I get, and how shiny the lady bug is.
Last week the nurse told me during chemo that my tumor markers are down which is what we are hoping for. Hopefully they will continue to drop, and the treatments will do their job.
These are really great. It's surprising how good that macro setting is on your point & shoot. What kind of camera is it?
Been thinking of you lately . . .

Always thinking of you and cheering you on even if I'm over in Michigan! So glad to hear about your markers being down. Chemo sucks but it is going to help you beat this cancer's butt!
Good for you getting out and taking pictures. Very good therapy I agree!

Do you think all those "blogger" prayers we're sending are helping??? I certainly believe they are...wonderful new pictures!!!

Wow, love that last one! I'm always surprised at how well p&s's can capture macro. In fact, PW's latest macro winner was from a point and shoot! :)
So happy to hear the tumor markers are down!!

We get tons of lady bugs, but not this early in the year. More towards late summer and into the fall, but never any red ones... just orange and yellow ones. I wonder why.

I like to play with lady bugs when I was younger. I think they are beautiful creatures.

Pretty pictures! I just found you blog and really like the ladybugs! :) I used to have a little canon point and shoot too, and it had great macro settings too, in fact I was really excited to get one of a ladybug with it, although not as pretty as your pictures.
