Remember when I said (yesterday, more or less) that the little anole on the front hydrangea knew what it was doing in choosing a concealed spot to sleep?
Yeah.
Let’s see here: centered directly on exposed leaf, not even adequate cover from rain, failure to blend in with background, near-vertical position… D minus. The only credit it gets is for being centered and potentially blending into main leaf vein, but I could see this guy from the road, so…
And when I say near-vertical, I’m not kidding:
I backed off a little to do a more establishing shot, and ensured that the camera was held dead-level, so you weren’t seeing any odd camera angle in the previous image. Didn’t even pick a leaf that had backup beneath it. Ah well.
I took a quick peek out back too, and found nothing until I was on my way back in.
This guy looked like he was waiting for me to return, so I made sure I got a decent portrait before I went through that same door. And as I did so, it turned to face me still, probably entranced by the headlamp, but hey – maybe the desire of fame was that great.
C’mon, how was I gonna pass this up? Makes me think I gotta check the pet store to see if they have frog biscuits…
