2012, Day 161 - I'm a laaaady!

Some days I miss the outrageousness of Little Britain; Matt Lucas and David Walliams are comic geniuses.  Sadly the series ended some time ago and they went on to create Come Fly with Me which was funny but not quite as outlandish as their previous television endeavors.

Today's photo features one of my favorite subjects, a ladybug.  They have so much meaning for me because, decades ago, my grandmother wrote me a letter telling me she wished she was a ladybug so she could sit on my shoulder and share my adventures.  In the years since her passing when I see a ladybug I get a little burst of happiness because, for a moment, she is with me in spirit.  So yesterday I got to catch up with my grandmother as I took this picture.
