L (Street) is for ladybug

A cute decoration at 2nd and L Streets SE.

*****

The Capitol Hill Alphabet Animal Art Project, funded by the District of Columbia government and executed by the Capitol Hill Arts Workshop, comprises animals and insects on lamp posts and street signs representing the name of the relevant street, something like when a parent would tell their child, "G St... G is for Grasshopper." Over the years the project was expanded to include 20 such decorations in SE Capitol Hill, although one of them has unfortunately disappeared. Some of the pictures here also appeared in my scavenger hunt gallery as well.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly
unsharp.

Took a moment to figure out it was a ladybug! Definitely a unique one!

This is such a neat concept for street IDs, this lady bug is slightly faded.

Oh, a ladybug, make a wish! Considered good luck and a miracle on roses (it eats aphids).
