30 Days Wild - Bloody Aphids

For this month in my themes album I am joining in with Louise and 30 Days Wild 2019.

If I can I will tie it in with June Word of the Month as well.

Didn't think there would be any insects in this windy, cold and rainy weather - but of course there were bloody aphids on the rose bud - no ladybugs to keep them at bay.

I am also tagging this for the Bubbleicious Challenge -
