Slow and rainy morning

It has been a rainy weekend. The heavy monsoon rains continued into yesterday, and looks like it will remain. I always think of July as peak monsoon. To check, I went back to my photos of early July. It is true, most of my photos from this week for the past fifteen years are memories of being cooped up at home for days due to rain. I rediscovered one of my early mobile camera photos: this one of the invasive giant African land snail (Achatina fulica). I knew it spread fast, but I was surprised to find that it is counted among the top 100 invasive species in the world. I guess we are number one. Here’s looking at you, cousin.
