Mrs McKay’s Mini Me

Just as I was about to go on my walk it started to rain so didn’t get very far I’m afraid. Found some signs of spring in the garden-no bugs to see, which maybe isn’t a bad thing as I don’t know how Mini-Me might react to them. The tiny leaf made a good shelter for Mini Mrs McKay though!
