This Gecko was born from an amalgamation of many real reptiles; the starting template for the GEICO Gecko is modeled after a species of the genus Phelsuma. Further incorporations include other geckos with prominent red spots, such as P. cepediana and P. laticauda. He was born (created) in 1999 and since then has starred in over 150 commercials, published a book and become America's most recognized reptile. His first voice actor was Kelsey Grammer and his current one is English comedian Jake Wood. His real name is Martin after the ad agency that created him. And there it is, everything you may have wanted to know (or not) about the Geico Gecko and were too lazy to ask Google about! LOL This was probably my favorite shot from this past Sunday's Adventures. Sadly it was only a mural painted on the side of a cinder block wall in one of the cities we were passing through. Which was probably a good thing or there might have been yet another quick, death defying U-turn so we could meet this guy in person!
Can switching to Geico really save you 15% or more on car insurance?
Was Abe Lincoln honest?

-------------------- GEICO Skytypers --------------------
The GEICO Skytypers are a flight squadron of six vintage SNJ-2 WWII era aircraft performing precision flight maneuvers at the 2021 Fort Lauderdale Air Show. The diverse flying expertise of the team members aligns perfectly with the unique components of their overall performance. The airshow team is a flight squadron of six WWII-vintage U.S. Navy SNJ trainers . The team performs a thrilling, low-altitude, precision-formation flying demonstration filling the sky and coming from all directions to provide spectators a unique viewing experience while showcasing the tactical maneuvers utilized in the Second World War. In addition to their air show performances, the GEICO Skytypers also “type” giant messages in the sky. Known as the world¹s largest text messages, skytyping is 17 times faster than skywriting and produces a letter every four seconds in a dot-matrix pattern. The messages are as tall as the Empire State Building, can extend up to 8 miles in length, and are visible up to 15 miles in any direction — or for nearly 400 square miles. In between air shows, these messages can often be seen at major events and venues in the Northeast near the team¹s home base at Republic Airport in Farmingdale, NY. - Amazing to see!
Watch them type the sky with their aerial ballet:

Built in 1749, now home of the Historic Fredericksburg Foundation. Located at no. 1200 Caroline Street.
"Fredericksburg is an independent city located in the Commonwealth of Virginia in the United States. As of the 2020 census, the population was 27,982. The Bureau of Economic Analysis of the United States Department of Commerce combines the city of Fredericksburg with neighboring Spotsylvania County for statistical purposes.
Fredericksburg is 48 miles (77 km) south of Washington, D.C. and 53 miles (85 km) north of Richmond.
Located near where the Rappahannock River crosses the Atlantic Seaboard fall line, Fredericksburg was a prominent port in Virginia during the colonial era. During the Civil War, Fredericksburg, located halfway between the capitals of the opposing forces, was the site of the Battle of Fredericksburg and Second Battle of Fredericksburg. These battles are preserved, in part, as the Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park. More than 10,000 African-Americans in the region left slavery for freedom in 1862 alone, getting behind Union lines. Tourism is a major part of the economy. Approximately 1.5 million people visit the Fredericksburg area annually, including the battlefield park, the downtown visitor center, events, museums, art shops, galleries, and many historical sites.
Fredericksburg is home to Central Park (as of 2004, the second-largest mall on the East Coast). The Spotsylvania Towne Centre is located in Spotsylvania County, adjacent to the city. Major employers include the University of Mary Washington (named for the mother of George Washington, who lived here), Mary Washington Healthcare, and GEICO. Many Fredericksburg-area residents commute to work by car, bus, and rail to Washington, D.C. and Richmond, as well as Fairfax, Prince William, and Arlington counties." - info from Wikipedia.
The fall of 2022 I did my 3rd major cycling tour. I began my adventure in Montreal, Canada and finished in Savannah, GA. This tour took me through the oldest parts of Quebec and the 13 original US states. During this adventure I cycled 7,126 km over the course of 2.5 months and took more than 68,000 photos. As with my previous tours, a major focus was to photograph historic architecture.
Now on Instagram.

Well, that is what my kids used to call these adorable arboreal lizards we see around the house after the insurance selling green lizard with a British accent seen in TV commercials. This particular one caught my eye one recent morning clinging onto a blade of grass in the lawn. It was so tiny that the grass blade seemed like a 40 feet tall bamboo pole in comparison.
I was not sure if he was sunning or trying to drink the little dew drop on top of the blade. By the time I was able to go back with my macro lens, he sought the relative security of this Orange Shrimp Plant (Justicia fulvicoma if you speak Latin).
He did allow me get close enough to get this portrait taken. Close meaning within an inch from his pretty face.
Wikipedia says:
The Carolina anole (Anolis carolinensis) is an arboreal lizard found primarily in the southeastern United States and some Caribbean islands. Other common names include the green anole, American anole and red-throated anole. It is also sometimes referred to as the American chameleon due to its ability to change color from several brown hues to bright green and its somewhat similar appearance (though it is not a true chameleon)
