along the river bank

Walking back to my car from the hairdresser's on Saturday I spied one or two ladybirds on the cow parsley.

I had taken my camera with me (surprise, surprise!) and had the portrait lens on it. Good detail as usual but it meant a massive crop given the size of the ladybird.

I enjoyed the response to my shot of the asparagus harvest yesterday, lots of interesting ideas and information, thank you!

Helpful feedback, thank you, Richard. I do tend to square crop for macro shots and centre the subject.
