Did the rounds of the yard yesterday, and noticed small flowers on my hollyish type of shrub/tree thing.

Starting taking some shots, and noticed a bee.  Then another bee.  Bees are hard to shoot.

Then I stumbled across some ladybugs.  I'm normally only aware of ladybugs when they're swarming the bedroom, so to find a few just happily and non-obtrusively scattered outside was somewhat out-of-character.

I also checked on the Hawthorn tree.  It was covered in flowers last month, but this month there are not an equal number of fruits.  I felt like there were fewer bees on it this year, and I guess fewer flowers actually got pollinated.
