Ladybug on Flower: Photos Of The Day

BERKELEY, CA — Robert Heller has a great message for us all, "Beauty is all around us, you just have to notice it."

Heller snapped the photo above in the Berkeley Hills, on San Diego Road, on April 30 of last year. He uses his cell phone to snap photos of flowers or insects at construction sites.

He writes, "I find the intricacies of flowers and insects to be mesmerizing at times and relaxes me more than I would have thought."

Heller took the original photo and applied a cartoon filter to it. What do you think?
