When Nature Catches Your Eye…or, the Love Bug

I walk nearly every day at lunch as a means to escape and recharge from the hectic whirlwind of the office.  Luckily I can get to a nice trail easily, but it’s still in the middle of Bellevue, Washington with interstate 90 overhead.  And even so, nature thrives.

When I am in nature (even during my lunch walks) I try to be very observant of what is going on around me and yesterday was no exception.  From the corner of my eye, I saw a small reddish-orange dot on a green leaf and instantly new it was a lady bug.  I’ve seen many in my life, yet I still took the time to stop and “pay attention” to it.  Much to my surprise, it ended up being what could possibly be a once in a lifetime sight.  So, I pulled out my cell phone and captured the moment to share.  Seriously…how many times in life is something like this captured???  It makes me smile every single time I look at it.

Lady Bug LoveI hope it makes everyone chuckle a bit.
