Hi Jayne - It took me a few moments to realize that what I know as a "ladybug&quo t; in England is known as a ladybird. But, no matter what you call them these are great photos. You do a wonderful job with closeups and macros. The colors are great! Connie

Great little ladybirds, so photogenic, and they are real ladies, they don't fly away just as you are about to close the shutter. Nice album this Jayne, I see that your macro skill is soon in order. I am away for 10 days on thursday, off to cornwall so if it goes all quiet, you will know why, I wanted to take the computer with me but the good lady said NO. BFN Ken

Jayne!!!This is totally charming. and I learned a lot about ladybug/birds today! You must make more of these type albums my talented friend. You are a very intelligent, and knowledgeable person and now it is my turn to say I envy you that! This album is a big winner, Thank you dear teacher and dear friend...Big ol' Hug, Laura

PS: All your photos are beautiful and well done. including little Elenor. That photo has a very artful look about it. Make a nice oil painting I think.

Hi Jayne, This is really cute and I think ladybirds would not be easy to capture on camera. well done. The Campanulas are lovely too Hugs From Chris Charlie and Jay

Hi Jayne . . . You really made my DAY! What beautiful Campanulas, but as you might expect me to say, what a wonderful Ladybug/Ladybird! Your macro-phototography is terrific; your camera must be also! Keep shooting and I'll keep enjoying your pictures. Ladybug hugs, Judy / Florida

Hello there! I think I missed your g/b entry as was w/o my PC for two months! Besides that, you asked about a favourite photo of yours? So far the child discovering the Ladybird is mine! Such innocence. The Campanulas are ALL lovely. Are they perennials? How have you come about so much knowledge of them? It made the album so interesting to read. See you again soon. How's that album coming along? :> Barb

Hi Jayne! What a great little album! Your photos are all terrific and it must have been years since I heard that little poem! Greetings from another Jayne!

Hi Jayne! This is feature material here! I really enjoyed this delightful album with your wonderful photos and excellent presentation. Ladybirds are great and the Blue of the Flowers is truly awesome. Well done!! Thanks for sharing.. Gladys, Western Australia.

Hello Jayne, what a delightful album, takes us all back to our childhood, trying to get the lady bug to fly off of our fingers. Thanks for putting this up...Trudy-Oregon

said hamiltrudy1 2005.06.16 at 07:08:44 PDT

Excellent! Hope I can learn to capture life as well as u have!

said joy0003 2005.06.16 at 08:06:47 PDT

Hi Jayne, this is a beautiful album. I like insects but only managed to picture a ladybird once. You really did a great job. No wonder you have more than 100,000 visits. You're invited to visit my new albums. I hope you'll like them as well. Greetings from Israel, Yair.

said ykarelic4 2005.06.19 at 11:45:08 PDT

Such a sweet album Jayne, ladybugs are probably the only insect I will say is cute! Your campanulas are just gorgeous and love that deep purply blue colour. Always a pleasure to view your albums, and to keep in touch, my treasured friend! Happy days and puppy licks, amy

said kester110 2005.07.12 at 03:58:32 PDT

Hi Jayne, I missed this album till now! I am so pleased you have a ladybird album of your own!!!! It is lovely. Wonderful flower macros! ! ! ! Nice to see one more picture of Elinor - a wonderful shot! Lots of magic! I have to visit you more often! And of course I have to come back to see all of Italy! I hope you had a wonderful vacation! - Galit from Israel

Hi Jayne - I came back her to my very favo[u]rite album of yours (and why not?) ... to leave you a message. Thanks for your GB entry in my "Florida Birds - a mixture!" I can see why you aren't enamoured of the Heron if they eat your fish! Here, there are plenty of fish in the Gulf of Mexico and local inlets that they don't bother the 'natives' very much! (grin) ... I hope you are enjoying your week off! ... Love 'n hugs, Judy

said ladybug591 2006.02.15 at 16:53:57 PST

Hi Jayne! What a totally fascinating collection of ladybirds you have! Here in the states, we call them ladybugs! Such an interesting little bug! Great shots! Thanks for sharing with us all...take care...hugs galore...Darlene

said briansbabe2 2006.02.17 at 21:06:38 PST

My dear Jayne this album is just magical!I hope you don't mind that I have stolen your opening shot for in my favourite photos ...it is so enchanting!Hope all is well with you dear friend ...I guess you are beginning to sneak into Spring while here Autumn is blowing her way into our lives (hopefully with rain ,it has been very dry!) My love and best wishes to you,Lynne

said lynne294 2006.03.02 at 02:10:15 PST

Dear Jayne ,I forgot to mention that in N.Z we don't have the yellow Ladybird as well as the red and black but we do have the most exquisite black and irridescant peacock blue Ladybird although not as regular a visiter as the gorgeous red and black Ladybird.Keep well and happy -love from N.Z -Lynne
