Bugs that Bug ME!

I love to see and photograph bees on the flowers.
But something's been eating the petals on all the daisies.....

I found the culprits: Japanese Beetles!

The nasty bugs are eating everything in sight including my Brussels sprouts leaves. My neighbors put traps up, so I put one up this afternoon. YIKES, the trap is filling up fast. Anyone else having the same problem? If "yes" please comment at the end of this post.

And speaking of visits, yesterday I visited my "old" college roomie, Candy, and her adorable 4-month old granddaughter, Mallory. Most of my photos turned out blurry, but this next one turned out just great:

"Baby Toes"

Life is beautiful even with a few bugs!!
