There are a number of mosaics, large and small, dotted around my neighbourhood. I found this little one (pictured above) on Saturday morning as I stepped outside a coffee shop I'd hitherto not frequented before. Did you know there are twenty-six different types of ladybird? No, me neither. This is a fin. A fiver. A five-spot, a.k.a. Coccinella Quinquepunctata.
Thelonius Monk - Five-Spot Blues*
* Monk (1917-1982) dedicated this to the Five Spot Café in New York's Bowery neighbourhood.
