This is the snail of the type that produced the pink egg case. It is an invasive species from the Caribbean, not an unusual situation with all of the boat traffic . This hitchhiking creature is a favorite lunch for some of the birds that live in Six Mile Cyprus Slough.
I thought that it looked golden in the sunlight that streamed through the leafy canopy.

Exotic-Chinesca Petatillo
Pre-Columbian Art. (Created in Mexico)
This is my souvenir to myself from the Museum of Art and History in Albuquerque, NM. It is a male figure sitting with face paint in the style of lagunillas in the interpretation of the funeral. The interpretation on the card that came with the statue was translated very poorly, so I just added the first paragraph above. It explained well enough what it is.
There is more information about La Chinesca here and describes the huge Chinese population in Mexico, I found that very interesting: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Chinesca

(I didn't know what these were called, but they are favorite landscape plants in the coastal Bay Area.)
Now identified--Echium candicans.
It's been awhile since I've made/posted a diptych. They're fun.
Did you smell the garden’s scent,
The flower buds and peppermint,
The sage and rosemary?
Truthfully, if I can be sincere,
I wish somehow that you were here,
Taking in this day with me.

There is a very nice exhibition, in a greenhouse,
with many living, free flying butterflies.
Thanks very much for dear comments, my Flickr-Friends

When I read that Mandarin Ducks had been sighted, I woke up at 4:30 to miss the morning rush to try and capture them. I was lucky, he was right where he had been the day before.
Because he was in the shade, I had to adjust my settings accordingly: ISO - 1000, f / 4.0, 1/250 sec. To get a shot at eye level, I laid on my stomach on wet dirt where the birds had gathered (you get the picture).
I have many more that I still need to see, but I was so thrilled to get this shot that I processed the first good shot I saw so I could post it tonight.
