Meet The Iguanas
Sitting near the pool under the umbrella one afternoon, I spotted a very handsome male iguana and decided to just watch as he chomped and ate his way through the nearby foliage.
Occasionally he would stop chomping, look in my direction and pose for a shot or two. Then it was back to work, devouring all that green, his belly growing fatter and fatter.
Naming him "George," I really admired him. Suddenly, he stopped cold and remained motionless.
Then after a few seconds, he once again began stuffing his face.
(Don't you think he looks rather "Grinchy" in this pic?)
Well, then a stunning, svelte female appeared from behind the pillar. She was a real "looker" if you know what I mean. I immediately named her "Lizzard Lips."
She was a little reluctant to come out at first, and kept retreating, but slowly, she made her way out into the open patch of green.
Meanwhile this crazy Grackle (I think because of the rudder-type tail when in flight) decided to be my intermission and entertain me by standing on one leg. At this stage, I was beginning to think I had been in the sun too long!
Back to 'Lizzard Lips"...such a dainty, femme fatale. I knew that "George" would be in trouble and fall for her hook, line and sinker.
She lingered in the green foliage, keeping her distance from 'George" as if she was taunting him.
Then, to my surprise, "Lizzard Lips" turned and walked away, snubbing "George" before he got too close. THe last I saw her, she was heading to where the grass was a little greener.
just seeing, saying, and sharing...
