Decorative reptiles...

I noticed that the little anole lizards on the island of New
Providence have an amazing range of colors and patterns. I tried to
capture as many as I could, but they sure are quick little guys!
This first one is my favorite... and it appears to be either relly
well fed, or ready to produce a new generation:



I think this one is a blue-tailed skink. The tails are amazing bright.



I didn't run across any geckos this year, but there's a few other
interesting patterns in these shots:

The two above were taken with the UZI & B-macro, the rest in this
small album are a mix of the UZI & FZ3. Click on the thumbnail to
see the medium sized shot, a slightly larger version comes up when
you click on the medium sized shot.

They're really cool and I love the pattern on first one. You're
right. They are fast. What did you do? Sedate them?

If I'm not mistaken, the first one looks to be a female Cuban Brown
Anole. The females have that diamond pattern on their backs and the
males are more spotted. I just didn't now they were that far north.
Maybe there is another kind with that exact same diamond pattern, I
don't know. It looks like it has just shed the skin and that is
when they are their prettiest. I have a female Brown that I rescued
over a year ago.

Both shots are nice. The Skink shot is fantastic. They're gorgeous
lizards.

Sue, LOL. Don't tell anyone this. I read your post (and sent out
several mistake filled emails) without my glasses. I clicked on
your profile and thought, "There's Anoles as far up as southern NJ?
Hardy little buggers. I have my glasses and it makes sense to me
now. You should see the responses to those emails. :]

The rescue: It was a stow away from FL when my Aunt moved back to
Chicago. It was packed in a box and then in a cold sewing room from
Sept 24th to Oct 18th of last year. When I found it, it was skin
and bones and nearly dead. I nursed it back to health and she's
doing great. Meet Bing. this was shot through the glass from across
the room (the only way to get a shot).

Those are just wonderful, Sue! Very fine macros with great
details. The colorful designs almost seem to be painted on yet
only Mother Nature could do this!

Excellent macro photography and superb subjects.

BTW, my "Rare Butterfly" will interest you!

Regards,
