We've been having beautiful weather the past few days--absolutely perfect. The Spring season here in Texas slides so fast into the scorching heat of Summer that sunny, slightly breezy days in the mid 70's are cherished.
As I was prowling around my yard with the camera, I spied my neighbor's rose bush and possible photo opportunity next door. The blooms were at the end of their cycle as evidenced by the droopy petals and brownish areas. As I shot this particular flower I happened to capture a small beetle enjoying the Spring afternoon, too. (At least I assume the beetle was in a state of enjoyment and not in a frenzied rage over a fight with it's best beetle bud. But then again, I know very little about the mind of a beetle.)
How is Spring showing up around your house? (And have you witnessed any unusual beetle behavior?)

I pray for NO beetles at my house, because they always seem to attack my roses and canna lilies! This was a nice closeup of the little guy though...the only way I want to see one!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot! Love how delicate the rose looks with the black beetle perched on top.:-) Happy Sunday!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot of the beetle. The rose loos very romantic.
ReplyDeleteI spotted a beetle scurrying across my family room floor the other day.
ReplyDeleteI was not amused. ;)
Great find! And I'm not sure I know anything about the mind of a beetle either... or that I've ever pondered that. lol. Thanks so much for the follow and for linking up to the Leap into Spring Challenge! I hope you'll join us this Friday when we move onto Water/Rain. :)
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful an image this is. The beetle adds so much tot he photo.
ReplyDeleteThank you for participating in Floral Friday Fotos!
A great shot, I always love roses and the little bug is a bonus. We had snow last Thursday, it will be a while before the roses show up. Thanks for stopping by, Laura
