Baby Iguanas! (Can't get enough!)

Lil' Fatty!!!

I think he was mocking me!!!!

Sunning himself!

The Mother!

I think I have discovered the mother of the 3 baby iguanas in my yard!

Baby Iguanas (all 3!)

A nest of iguanas hatched in my yard a couple months ago.  I know there are at least 3 out there, because I have seen all 3 together; I have never seen an adult iguana in my yard, so I don't know how a nest came to be here.  Usually, I see 1 or 2 of the babies.  But, today, I saw all 3 at the same time. They are SO cute, even tho they are destructive and non-native.   I love having them out there.  Two of them are very shy and run from me, but, one is curious and actually comes towards me when I see him.

Baby # 2.  He was sunning himself, but when he saw me, he ran to his buddy.  I try to be respectful and not get too close, but they hear me even when I am creeping from far away.

He ran to safety with his buddy.  The one on top is curious about me.

He is sticking out his tongue at me!  SO RUDE!

SO cute!  Baby # 1

Baby # 1.  When he saw me, he came towards me!

And, this is # 3.  He wants no part of me or my camera!

From 9/30/2015.  I love his colors!

Supermoon Lunar Eclipse

Once again, the doomsayers were wrong (so far, they’ve never been right).  The blood moon, harvest moon, super moon lunar eclipse did NOT bring about the end of the world - instead, it was a gorgeous, heavenly spectacle (even if it was cloudy).  This hasn't occurred since 1982, and we won’t see it again until 2033.  Maybe the next one will be the end of the world – but, for now, I feel fine!

Turtle Rescue

I risked my life crossing 6 lanes of traffic to pull off a daring touch-n-go turtle rescue - this little guy was in the middle of the street!  I get this reptilian terror in my car and took him to a beautiful lake.  When I took him out of the car, all he wanted to do was FIGHT me!

He didn't waste ANY time diving into the lake!

He's trying to fight me!!

Anole

This beauty is one of several resident anoles in my yard.  He's not native, but I like him nonetheless!

Baby Iguana

So today, one of my wild baby iguanas was sitting on a fern leaf in my yard.  I don't know how it was supporting his body weight (he's a bit of a fatty!).  He pretended not to notice me, and I pretended to not notice him.

He finally caught my eye, but I think he is used to me.  He doesn't run.
