These green anoles are common in our yard. One day we spotted five at one time clinging here and there around the patio. Fortunately, they're not frightening. In fact, I'll even go so far as to say that I like them (though I felt a twinge of "how dare you" when one ate a butterfly before my very eyes). At least they give us something to look at, out there. ;o)
This little lizard was particularly tiny. For reference, the wood he (?) is on is a (roughly) 1.25" x 1.25" baluster on our patio railing. I wonder if these teensy lizards we've been seeing hatched out of those tiny eggs I found a while ago. . .
Most of the time, these lizards are fairly bold. They don't mind being looked at or photographed. (Or maybe they just think they've blended in so well that we can't see them. (g)) This one, on the other hand, was very camera-shy. He made a few trips around the baluster in attempts to avoid me and (as you can see here) sometimes gave me a look. ("Mind your own business, won't you? Can't you see I'm busy here?")
Editing: Cropped, Curves (to lighten), Spot-Healing Tool (to clean up some spots of dirt on the wood), and Unsharp Mask. Oh, and resized, of course. I think every single photo in this project will have been resized (usually right after cropping), so just take that step for granted, if you're keeping up with the editing information. (I doubt many people are interested in this part of the project, but I thought I might as well make editing notes for my own benefit.)
