My brother, George, has his nameday today, HAPPY NAMEDAY GEORGE!
St. George is a great saint to us, Greeks!
One photo with my new camera as an Easter present from my parents, but I still have many photos with my old camera to show....

That is lovely ladybug. It is seeming so delicious that I would eat it right the way. I love those few colors (blue, white, red and black) in Your photo and it is unbelievable how using only these colors, You succeeded so good with Your photo.
