June 2023 Edition
The lovely ladybird gracing our front cover for June was snapped by Christine Rankin, Ards Peninsula Area Executive Member/Donaghadee WI.
The texture and tones of this striking macro photograph perfectly depict the beauty of nature.
A worthy cover choice and a stunning celebration of summer.
“I’m sending luck and wishes all wrapped up in a hug.
Good things should come your way with this tiny ladybug”
