Lift off

Today was a lovely day! My birthday celebration with the family was tonight. It was awesome! My Mom cooked a yummy meal, including a delicious chocolate cake.

I ordered goodies for my camera from Amazon today with birthday money. I can't wait for them to get here! :0)

I was lucky to find some ladybugs to shoot today. This one was orange and I have a red one for my other album. I had trouble deciding.

Thank you so much for your kind responses to yesterday's Bug Topping!!! :0)
