Ladybug Day at the Lake

Tuesday is my morning to go out to Ladies' Prayer and Bible Study so I left home fairly early this morning. The afternoon found me running to the other side of Rochester where I picked up my new computer. It will take me a while to get used to this new machine...


I took a detour after stopping in Webster and made my way down to Lake Ontario. I was looking for residual fall foliage. I found even more than that, a beach full of tiny friends. The ladybugs were having a picnic!

 I first thought they were only on driftwood logs
 along the shoreline, but I actually had to watch my step on the beach. Those ladybugs were everywhere!

I don't imagine there will be too many more mild and balmy days before the winds of winter set in, so I've determined to enjoy these last few. Tomorrow promises to bring a new adventure and I'm hoping for one last chance to capture the beauty of autumn.

I like to imagine a Ladybug picnic or a Ladybugs Day at the Beach. Linda says there were ladybugs on her beach at her lake too. It must have been a grand celebration! A last hurrah, of sorts.

  1. We had hundreds of ladybugs on the side of our house over the weekend! Thankfully, they just had a picnic and moved on...inside of moving in. haha.

    1. I'd been wondering where they were hiding. Who would have thought they were down at the lake? They're usually out at Hannah's Place and sometimes they do go inside.

  2. I got some pictures of them on my bf's hat and my sweater....2 weeks ago!
    We were on the sun porch yesterday, and I gently swept about 50 out the door!
    Betsy is right.....picnic and leave!
    I'll bet there are lots inside next time we go.....
    Your beach is very much like ours♥️

    1. I'd been wondering when they were going to make an appearance. In fact I was looking for them 2 weeks ago when I was out in the yard with my grandkids, but we only saw a few on the trampoline. Now I know where they were.

  3. I haven't seen any here...guess they like your side of the world.

    Sure like your pictures, Martha.

    1. You would think they might fly south like the monarch butterflies, but they cluster in hordes instead in cracks, corners, and crevices. Or maybe on the beach.
