Incredible as this may seem, I almost fell over this handsome hunk. It was a combination of looking upwards at a couple of screeching birds and the way this Iguana just lay there, not moving a muscle! Anyway, once my heart rate settled down, I was able to get a few hundred shots of this photogenic chap. He is a Green Iguana - yes honestly, he is. I believe the males change colour prior to breeding season. Scientific name: Iguana Iguana (That's right 'Iguana' times two.) Taken at Butterfly World, Stellenbosch, Western Cape.

When the weather is poor, its a great place to visit - just stay away from the school kids!
The facility has several hacking out boxes which they load with chrysalis. I was lucky to be there when one of the workers had opened the box.
Went to a nature center today and found this guy resting just long enough for me to get a few shots of him.
INaturalist ID'd these as tropical bees that have moved north into Florida.

Thanks for looking!

Many of the birds in the aviaries are used to people, since they see hundreds of people passing by them on any given day, seven days a week. Some of the birds have even been known to land on people's heads (I had it happen once...) But that's why these particular finches didn't even fly away when I approached them, and just kept bopping around, doing their thing.
They're very nice, no? Can't take a tripod there so Mike Jones would be happy about that. Got to handhold everything. The irony is that I did not take many butterfly shot. The Lumix met its limitations which is low light butterfly shots. It did not happen. I'll have to break out the Canon gear next time.
