A few days ago this little fellow (a Carolina Anole) was sitting atop the fence post just enjoying the sunshine. Today he is probably hiding somewhere warm and dreaming about the hot days to come. Note the weird end of his tail. If these lizards are threatened, they will allow part of their tail to break off…..I wonder what happened to this poor guy?

Here are two shots of tiny fiddler crabs that live in the local swamp. The second picture is a crop/enlargement of the first, so that you can see detail. Fiddler crabs are critters that totally fascinate me….I watch them execute what appear to be military maneuvers on the sand and build cities of tubes. They attract various sea birds who eat the crabs. (More photo opportunities for me.) And, the colors of their shells are so beautiful.
I hope you like my interpretation of the “tiny” theme for this week.

A cute (and fat) squirrel atop the bird feeder…..
A pretty egret perched in the tree….
These are only two of the cherries in my life.

Normally I don’t like bug pictures, but this dragonfly called out and said, I demand that you do my portrait. Being as it was a dragon, I was forced to obey.
Lots of details on this guy, especially the wings.

Developing Your Eye 1, Day Nine – A Pop of Color
Let’s go wild today. I don’t know why but these lizards truly fascinate me. From my on-line research, they are a kind of chameleon called a Carolina Anole. I just think they are fun. Plus this one is bright green and fulfills the assignment.

To you it may be a simple shell.
But, for me it is home.
Taken this afternoon for my first assignment for WordPress’s Developing Your Eye 1.

The curve of a net as it is lowered into the river. The silhouettes of gulls and pelicans as they watch for a tasty morsel. It’s twilight on Tybee.

As I was wandering around, trying to get some bird pictures, I steadied myself with my hand against the walkway. Lucky me… I missed hitting this couple by a few inches. Lucky them…I might have interrupted their afternoon of passion. They didn’t seem to mind my voyeuristic shot. And, as oddball photos go, I think this is pretty unusual.
Here’s Swampy…He’s caught in the act.
He’s doing time.
He’s sleeping it off.
He’s spoiled rotten…but who could stay angry with that sweet little face.
