22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
A Fourteen Spotted Ladybug Wandering up a plant

A fourteen spotted ladybug walks up the stem of a plant in a public park. I took this photo because when I spotted the bug my imagination immediately thought up a storyline about this ladybug taking on a huge adventure. It felt like capturing a moment in time, while also encasing a story on this ladybug's journey.
