Ladybug hiding :)

The pattern of this bug looks like an African mask - and he was not cooperative!

Enjoying sun - it looks like a bee, but is none. They can stand hovering on one place in the air.

A huge thank you to all these beautiful impressions of spring :loveshower: .
I'm sorry, I can't comment every single picture because of lack of time, but I'm looking every single picture and enjoy it very much.
I think I also can't watch the webcam's this spring and summer because of lack of time :cry:

Bea, now all people, who have seen your last beautiful pics, know: Image

The warm cat-weather is an evidence of the new season, too! :D

The pic of the bug with the African pattern is very special - one can be afraid of it! :mrgreen:

Till now I didn't notice a hedgehog is around. But I think they're around somewhere. We have/had the last few days temperatures around 20°C during daytime.
