Just a quick one from today, finding a Carolina anole (Anolis carolinensis) stretched out on an upper branch of the Yoshino cherry tree, the same one that I’ve been trying to protect from the Japanese beetles – it would be nice if this guy was eating those, but I’m not sure anything does. After finding the lizard there, a bit higher than I stand myself, I misted the leaves nearby because it’s been hot as shit here recently and I thought it might like a drink; my reward was this expressive pose, though at the same time the reptile’s skin darkened to a medium greenish-brown from the pale green that it was when discovered. What this means, I do not know, but I suspect we might be married now…
