Josie Kleinitz, Ladybug (January theme: Green)

While walking through a lush garden somewhere in northern Italy, a bright dot of red amongst the green foliage caught my glaze. It was this little ladybug, dancing along the edge of the leaf. The ladybug is a symbol of good luck, love and happiness. They highlight the importance of lightness and knowing yourself. They are thought to bring divine intervention and happy resolutions. The miraculous is at play in everyday life.
