Just now, just at midnight, a lady bug landed on a piece of mail I had finished addressing. I’ll take it as a sign for something. Not sure what. Yet.

Dang, girl! What kind of kick-ass camera did you use to take that shot? Neat!

well in Northern Europe tradition says that if a ladybug lands on you, you get a wish granted . . . so maybe the recipient of your letter has a wish-fulfilled coming their way.

In Switzerland ladybugs are good luck

“Ladybugs, Katherine. Lots and lots of ladybugs.”
I bet you know where that comes from, right Christina?
Take it as a sign. Great photo, by the way! What beautiful stationery (although it could almost pass for the smooth skin of someone’s forearm or stomach…)

I love this photo… You’ve made something beautiful out of a bug that comes in irritating, buzzing, neverending quantities where I live.
If ladybugs are good luck, I should’ve won the lottery by now!

see, this is what I mean:
Rory: They said I wouldn’t understand the family responsibilities!
Lorelai: What responsibilities? What are they, the Gambinos?
I bet no one ever has any idea what the hell I’m posting about. Another novella in response to your comment is over on my side of the blogosphere…

Awesome photo. I agree, the stationary could totally pass for skin. That’s one of the cool things about such close-up pictures – they could be a multitude of things.
And I want to know, too – what kind of camera did you use?
