The sun shone this morning, the last morning of our mini holiday at The Falmouth Hotel .What a wonderful and welcome short break this has been.
We’d been home only an hour when my lovely Mr S spotted a fox in the back field. We watched it for some time, prowling around.
On the wall just outside the back door there was a Ladybird. I’ve never seen one with 19 spots before. I learned it’s also known as the Water ladybird with a marvellous name Anisosticta novemdecimpunctata!
A message from WordPress today says it’s 14 years since I started writing my blog. That’s a great number of beautiful things!

I believe the beetle in your photograph is an Asian Lady Beetle, identified by the M marking. In the U,S. many of us have come to think of them as pests, as they infest homes by the hundreds.
