Wild Iguana
Iguana in Nayarit state, about 2 and 1/2 hours north of Puerto Vallarta at Punta Custodio. A very very beautiful area next to a bird sanctuary and a 10 mile tortuga beach. And who doesn't love Mexican food?.........I know I know, it tastes like chicken. Evidently influx of Mexican natives from southern states in areas that they do eat these 'chicken of the trees' have markedly reduced the population in the PV area. Sad as they can be very colorful and beautiful.
This vegetarian was very cooperative and still for several shots with a mild telephoto. One of the brighter green patterns than others I have seen. Blow up the image to appreciate the sharpness of this hand held, very cheap Nikon lens!
