Lizard LOVE (Romeo and Juliet)


Romeo # 1 - code name Leonard

Juliet - code name Lizzie


Romeo # 2 - Code name Leon

Leon above, Leonard below


the winner? Leonard

WILL YOU TURN THAT FLASHING CONTRAPTION  OFF? can't we get a little privacy here?


MadSnapper Trivia, short and sweet today.    

I LOVE LIZARD WATCHING and for those of you wondering, yes, I do name the lizards.

SAD STORY THOUGH. the caterpillars and chrysalis are GONE! I almost cried Tuesday morning and thought rats might have been the culprit. but guess who the culprit is?

Seriously,  I caught this big guy hunting..... seems Brown Anoles eat anything living that will fit in their mouth. including Chrysalis and their own skin that they shed.  The food chain allows for all this, so no worries.

  6. Well looks like Leon is going to have to find a new girlfriend. You got some really great photos of those guys.

    Sorry to hear they are the culprits but as you said that is nature.

  8. Now I call that being in the right place at the right time! He may be a bit of an exibitionist and likes having his "moment" photographed...

  12. You my, may I say I don't care for those things?

    I know, they are all part of Nature. But.... Ughhhhhhhhh...

    When we were in FL for 3 months, those tiny ones used to make me shudder.

    Yeah, I'm a wimp. LOL

  15. Love among the lizards! Wonderful captures of nature at its best and perhaps not its best, but then lizards have to eat too.

  16. LOL this reminded me of the song by Captain and Tonelle, Muskrat Love.
    LOL.

    I probably should have mentioned on the blog that the lovely table setting was done by my hubby for our 41st anniversary on Feb 14. He had it waiting from me when I came home from work. He probably would not want the world to know...but let me just say it was beautiful.
    The china was his Mom's.

    Your shots are great. Too bad about the chrysalis being lizard lunch

    ReplyDelete
  27. You sure do have a lot of different looking lizards around your place! They are neat looking!

  28. Great captures, Sandra. I don't know what kinds of lizards they are. We had some rainbow skinks at the baseball field this year. When it was really hot, they would come out looking for water. I'd poor water on the concrete and they'd run to drink it before it soaked up. :)
