All right, the anole pics are piling up, though I’ve been trying to do posts on other things to break it up a little, but now it’s time to clean ’em out, for the brief period that this will last. We’ll start with a few from just this morning.
Going out to the greenhouse to open it up for the day, I found this little scene etched on one panel:
That’s condensation
I decided to do this one, since it was just a couple days past a year ago that I snagged this shot.
Okay, yes, I’ve featured Carolina anoles (Anolis carolinensis) here a billion times, and there will be more before the end of the week even. But I’ve only featured, and seen, one with a forked tail just once in my life, so this counts. And believe me,
We had one batch of trick-or-treaters tonight, the first Halloween in the new house – we’d been alerted that the neighborhood never saw too many, and we decided to forego the All Hallows Read thing this year because we didn’t feel like packing away the collected books. But once we
Seriously, don’t move it’s a pain in the ass, takes forever, and results in far too many aches and pains. We’ve still got far too much to go, and Walkabout Studios is going to take a while to be in proper shape. So I haven’t much time to devote to posting, but I’ll slip in here and there as I have a few moments. And in like vein, I snag the occasional
The function of getting established at the new Walkabout Estates is going much slower than intended, primarily not our fault – we’re still waiting for the truck with most of our belongings to arrive. Until that time, we’re bouncing back and forth between minor repairs/improvements and exploring the area, but this has included going down to the waterfront soon after
Early the other morning I went past the Japanese maple that has been hosting the newborn Carolina anole (Anolis carolinensis,) only it had been misty-raining overnight and I didn’t really expect to see the little lizard, since the species seems quite sensitive about rain – I’ve spooked them for cover on hot days when I just played the mist sprayer across them, and this
It’s been a while, hasn’t it? I’ve had a couple of images set aside for this purpose, and just added a few more. Let’s see what we have now.
The color version can be found here, but in this case, after converting to individual color channels, I reduced
These are the most recent images, taken late last night, because we needed a buffer between posts of too-similar images, and I don’t feel like using the raindrops-on-roses pic right now (they’re coming, Julie Andrews.) Plus, I was a little surprised by two of these, anyway.
I’m trying to remember if I’ve seen this species twice this season, or only once. Regardless,
Man, I am getting backlogged with photos now, since my time to write things up keeps disappearing. Well, not true – I just keep using it for other things. I know, I know, after all that my readers have done for me…
Anyway, a few pics of a recent find at Walkabout Estates:
This is another Carolina anole (Anolis carolinensis,) this time on the small Japanese
Only a handful of shots from yesterday, from the front walk at Walkabout Estates.
In going past one of the butterfly bushes, I noticed a sudden movement from the leaves, which is the best telltale if you notice it and pay attention. Eventually, I saw further activity as an adult Carolina anole (Anolis carolinensis) became evident, slinking up the branches. I did a few frames, but it seemed
