Ladybug... A Link-up Photo

I do not like to be late.  Ever. 
And this morning was no exception.  I headed out the door to meet a friend for Mama Coffee with plenty of time, and to spare. 
 
But then I saw it... a ladybug clinging for dear life onto a twig of a plant that has poked itself out from under our deck.
 
I just HAD to go back inside to get my camera to photograph the tenacity of this little critter.  The wind, you see, was whipping this branch back and forth as if its sole purpose was to dislodge the bug. But she (?) wasn't budging!
 
It took me at least 10 minutes to get a halfway decent picture because of the wind.
 
I knew my friend would understand why I was late.  And she did.  And there was the bonus of her being so pleased that she arrived before I did!  I am a good friend like that.

    Beautiful picture, Joanne! I am so glad that you lingered for that photography moment. You were as tenacious as your ladybug. :)

    Of course, it was a thrill to me to arrive first. (It is a very rare occurrence for me.)

      Thank you, Cheryl. I think we made up for the 3 minutes that I was late, right?

    Ladybirds are so precious aren't they - we all feel the need to protect them.
    What is Mama coffee pray tell?
    I'm visiting from Kati's Photo Friday.
    Wishing you a happy and peaceful weekend.

      Thanks for stopping by, Shane! Mama Coffee is what Cheryl and I call our coffee chats when we do not bring our daughters with us. We thoroughly enjoy having the girls with us, but sometimes it is good to talk about the things in our Mama hearts without them present. Oh, and we laugh. A LOT!
