I found this collection of hibernating ladybirds the other morning and couldn't resist sharing them with you. Does anyone know what the collective noun for them is? Perhaps it should be a Santa Claus because of their festive colours! It amuses me that they are all jumbled up together despite being different types, there is obviously safety in numbers against the winter no matter what you look like, maybe the human race could learn a thing or two from nature as always.
Meanwhile back in the garden we only have the main border left to dig through now, so should be finished in time for Christmas.
I wonder if it is a coincidence that nature colours so many things red at this time of year, robins, holly berries, the evening sky and the stems of many plants. I think perhaps it is a reminder to us that winter is a necessary season but will soon pass. It certainly makes for wonderful photography.
