Yes. A pink spotted lady beetle. Also called a twelve-spotted lady beetle or Coleomegilla maculata to be precise.
You are a botanist!
Let's say, a hobby-entomologist-in-training. I know more about the critters than the plants.
A more accurate description would just be "curious person."
I like those kinds of persons!
BEAUTIFUL ! ! ! !
A Great Photograph! Does this "sing" when it turns?
There are two of them in that front yard. Both were turning gently when I passed; there was no sound.

Do most dogs like water and know how to swim?
I really don't know about "most dogs."
But, I would certainly say "lots of dogs."
I've had 2 dogs of my own. They both naturally knew how to swim. Leela, who has passed, didn't love it. Rocky, who I have now, does.
Is it Rocky that we see in your photo?
yep
Cutesie, thanks for posting this informative article!
NOTE THE LARGE PINK BIRD
I apologize for the grainy photo but this is the best I could do from a distance. It’s not the photo that’s important, it is what the photo is of:
ROSEATE SPOONBILL
The pink bird circled below. When the water is high and the pastures get flooded, lots of wading birds show up. But Roseate Spoonbills are coastal birds and rarely come inland. So, now and then I will see them. It is alway exciting.

How much approximate distance does it take for a location to be considered "inland?"
