Yesterday morning I was driving around the countryside

chasing patches of fog and sunbeams.

While poking my lens through a screen of bushes & fence,

I happened upon these breakfasting sheep.

How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank.

Here will we sit, and let the sounds of music

Creep in our ears; soft stillness, and the night

Become the touches of sweet harmony.

~ William Shakespeare

If I ride the wings of the morning,     

 if I dwell by the farthest oceans,  

even there your hand will guide me,      

 and your strength will support me.   

~ Psalm 139:9-10

A single ladybug can eat as many as 5,000 aphids in its short 3-6 week lifetime.

My favourite insect is not only pretty as a jewel,  but a super-hero in my garden!
