climb the mountains and get their good tidings. nature’s peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. the winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves. ~ john muir

I’ve never seen so many ladybugs clumped together!
Very nice collage.
Regards and best wishes
Great collage! The ladybugs are insane! 🙂
What a lovely collage, filled with great tones and contrasts, beauties all.
Lovely collage! Love those ladybugs and the swans!
Thank you for linking up with Wild & Wonderful Wednesday!
From your entry to WW I realized that you live in Oakhurst where I do my groceries whenever we’re vacationing at Yosemite! So many times have I wondered if we shouldn’t move up there, but I guess I still love the city too much:)
my grandma lives there, it’s a beautiful area…
Is that Ladybugs massing? I think I saw them in our shed yesterday. They’re so good for the garden! I love the shot of the mossy limbs in the water.
Yes, the ladybugs were massing, it is the first time I had seen them do it. There were thousands of them clustered on flower pods and on the ground in clumps. It was amazing…
Very nice collage.
