When the stones are swimming ...

Although not living in Stone- but in Seanhenge, it never ceases to fill this arrogant, cold-blooded, heartless, egoistic and ever so nitpicking and sarcastic agnostic's heart with joy  when ...

... seeing leaves on and around stones.
Maybe, this affection roots in another affection.
The affection for a saying the words of which
once perhaps are to be read on my grave-stone:

When the stones are swimming
the leaves will sink.

Giving shelter to a native

While Mrs. J. was enthusiastically digging in order to give winter-asylum to 20 or so dahlia-roots, I was busy with checking each nook and crankle of Seanhenge if somebody else needed my help. And I found ...



... a ladybird.
 
As you can see not one of those reckless (US-?) American invaders which are obviously not willing to peacefully share the resources, but an 'old European', a connoisseur whenever her/his/its eyes discover plant-lice on the menu-card.

And thus, after a brief (photo-) shooting I took our winter-guest to one of the fuchsias currently acclimatising and thus preparing themselves in the greenhouse for hibernation in the cellars of Seangrange.
