Default Ladybug and The Bee

Photographers Comments
Today out in the garden .. I spotted a ladybug, ran and got the camera .. and was standing over the ladybug .. trying to get the right shot .. and a bee landed on the daisy beside the ladybug .. .. So a quick snapshot of the two of them. I did manage to get a couple more shots .. but .. one was so blurry .. guess I was trying to do it quickly because .. the ladybug .. was beetling away.... lol ...
Cheers
Else
