Crawling in the light

I took this photo more than a year ago and I remember it well : ) I think it was something like 1:00 in the morning and I was about to go to bed, when I happened to notice this tiny, Two-spotted Ladybug climbing all over one of the flowers in my kitchen. So, out came the camera and I tried to get a few photos of it, unfortunately in atrocious light and through tired, blurry eyes. (Talking of which, I drove across the city this afternoon to get my glasses, which had been brought back from Canmore to Calgary last weekend, after the Christmas Bird Count there - thanks so much Christine!). These Ladybugs are smaller than the more common Seven-Spotted, and are native to Alberta, unlike the Seven-spotted.

You'll never think of milk and cookies for Santa in the same way if you watch this funny little video from JibJab. Would never have seen it, but my son, Steven, posted it on his Facebook page. Thanks for the laugh, Steven!
