A Green Anole peeks over the edge of a leaf, looking for insects to eat. I spent about two hours with these little lizards in my sister's back yard in Jacksonville, Florida when visiting last year (2019). Very happy with some of my captures :)
Green Anoles average about 4 inches in body size, with their tails extending another 4 inches. While the lizard above appears quite large, it is due to the perspective of my macro lens magnification, and the close proximity of the lens to the animal.
In order to get this close without spooking it and having it scurry away, it required a very patient stalking technique involving slow movement, quiet presence, and muscles in my arms and hands that often quivered uncontrollably due to holding my heavy gear for such extended handheld sessions! Actually surprising that ANY of my images were sharp, lol.
Several years ago I was in Costa Rica and shot hundreds of pictures of Lizards. This one is a Green Basilisk. I had posted a long shot of this guy several years ago when I had a very heavy hand with the saturation and before I understood white balance.
Taken with my old trusty D700, a virtual tank of a camera. Haven't used it in years but always on standby as a backup and loaner.
Green garden lizard or Pala Katussa is a common lizard with wide distribution from low lands plains to mid hills. It is highly arboreal and found in both forest and anthropogenic habitats such as home gardens, plantations, etc... However it is rare in Northern part of the country and higher hills (Not recorded of above 1500m a.s.l). It has very characteristic long tail and it can be considered as the largest Calotes species in the country. It feeds mainly on insects but may also take plant materials such as tender buds and flowers. Several color variations has been recorded of this species and it has been observed a quite distinct population from Kachchativu Island.
Many thanks to all those who view, comment and or fave my photos....It is greatly appreciated ......Chandana ❤️
Just one of about 6 baby lizards that we saw sunning themselves on a wooden post today! They were only about 4 cms long! Very cute indeed!
Spiny Green Lizard (Sceloporus malachiticus)
I saw this beautiful guy on the grounds of the hotel in San Jose where I stayed the night I arrived. Thanks to the Google, I've ID'd him as a Spiny Green Lizard. If anyone knows differently, I'd love to know the species.
Who knew that after that I would see very few lizards in Costa Rica. Another reason to go back :)
It was forecast to be too hot for bird photos today (38C); so long time friend and fellow flickr tog Joe Micallef and I decided to catch up and have a coffee instead.
Seems that we weren't the only ones keen on that plan......

This lizard stopped for a few minutes, so we could get a close up. The western fence lizard is a common lizard of Arizona, California, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Northern Mexico, and the surrounding area. These lizards are diurnal, and are commonly seen sunning on paths, rocks, and fence posts, and other high places, which makes them an easy target for predation by birds and even some mammals, such as shrews. We were glad to see that this one had escaped that plight and was happily bobbing in and out of the shrubbery.

Mentre girava per il bazar e guardava gli oggetti in vendita in un negozio, uno yogi disse alla propria mente: «O mente, di te si dicono meraviglie. Mostrami uno dei tuoi miracoli!».
Di lì a poco un uomo che vendeva miele intinse un dito nel miele e lo strisciò sul muro. Immediatamente dozzine di mosche cominciarono a ronzare vicino al muro per mangiare il miele. In pochi minuti se ne radunò un numero impressionante.
Una lucertola vide le mosche e s'avventurò allo scoperto per mangiarle. La vide un gatto, che le balzò addosso e se la pappò in un boccone. Un cane, vedendo il gatto, lo inseguì e lo uccise. Ma era il gatto del negoziante, e questi, preso dalla rabbia, percosse il cane con un bastone.
Il cane apparteneva a un cliente, che si infuriò e cominciò a litigare col negoziante finché non vennero alle mani. I negozianti vicini corsero a dar man forte al negoziante mentre altri passanti si schierarono col cliente. Ne venne fuori una rissa che coinvolse tutto il bazar.
Mentre accorrevano le guardie, richiamate dal clamore e dal parapiglia, la mente disse allo yogi: «Ecco fatto!»
(Parabola indù) --------------As she turned and looked through the bazaar items for sale in a shop, a yogi said to his mind: "O mind, you say you wonder. Show me one of your miracles. "
Shortly thereafter, a man selling honey dipped a finger in honey and smear on the wall. Immediately dozens of flies began to buzz close to the wall for eating honey. Within minutes he gathered an impressive number.
A lizard saw the flies and ventured into the open to eat. He saw a cat that jumped on him and if the jelly in one bite. A dog saw the cat, chased him and killed him. But it was the cat of the dealer, and these, taken by anger, struck the dog with a stick.
The dog belonged to a customer who was enraged and began arguing with the seller until they came to blows. Shopkeepers nearby rushed to give a hand to the dealer and other passers-by lined up with the customer. It came out of a brawl that involved all over the bazaar.
While the guards came running, invoke the clamor and confusion, the mind to the yogi said, "There!"

A shot from a recent trip to Mexico of a lizard enjoying the warmth perched on top of the rocks! Sure beats the cold winter we are dealing with on the northern part of the continent!

The Caiman lizard, Dracaena guianensis, is a large, heavy bodied lizard that is well adapted to life in and around water. Caiman lizards are native to South America around the Amazon River Basin from Brazil, and Guyana westward to Peru and Ecuador. While it is a relatively widespread species, little has been published about wild populations of Caiman lizards. In the past, the Caiman lizard was heavily hunted for its skin, but since protection was provided for them in the 1970s, the export has dropped and now these animals are not considered to be under the threat of extinction.
