Most of our garden is taken over by a vegetable patch and we currently have some of the largest rhubarb leaves i have ever seen. They are so big that if you happened to be caught in a rain shower you could snap one off and use it as a very effective shelter!!! Comments and constructive advice as always greatly appreciated!

I love how you set this shot up. The lady bug really stands out against all the dark green.

Rachel, I love rhubarb and had a couple of rhubarb plants when I lived in Arroyo Grande, a half hour south of here. The snails seemed to love rhubarb leaves. Thank you for not posting two foofy shots today.

Constructive advice: We're changing Foofy Friday to Goofy Friday; so don't post any more flower shots. Also keep the ladybird beetles around your garden. They take care of aphids and other pests.

Excellent shot, by the way. Perfect sharpness and DoF. I can even see a few spider webs in there.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

Not a big fan of the rhubarb myself, but I won't hold that against you.
A nice capture of the lady bug. Good clarity and DOF in the photo. Lovely details and colours.

The difference between a bad artist and a good one is: the bad artist seems to copy a great deal; the good one really does. ~William Blake
