Wow. Just wow. You have so much nature just outside your windows!

The dragonflies are from the pool being stagnant for ages--made them a nice pond full of yummy tadpoles.

Lizards are *everywhere* in So. Florida. I'm grateful I don't have anything larger than the 18 inch Cuban Knight anole (which is shy and totally harmless). There are feral iguanas running around some neighborhoods.

I love the blue on the Racerunners. Their faces have alot of character.

I swear I've seen the first one co-starring on a Dr.Who episode many years ago. :^)

Oh, wonderful--love lizard guys!!

[entropy-house.livejournal.com]

They are so cool!

OOOOOO...my lovely lizards are back! Lovely, lovely creatures!
These are wonderful pictures!
I know that dragonflies are very shy, not easy to take a picture - and such lovely ones!

Thank you!

The secrets to dragonfly pics : 1) If they perch somewhere, they will *probably* go back to the same perch even if they fly away for five minutes. As long as you DON'T MOVE (like lowering the camera) 2) Don't let your shadow pass over them. 3) Don't move close enough to disturb the air around them. If you haven't got a zoom, you haven't much chance of getting a good shot.

Nice instructions - no zoom - no pictures. Only from you :-)

I've just caught up on all your picture posts from (my) last night. You're amazing at pictures. Dude. I love the dragon flies best.

[entropy-house.livejournal.com]

Thank you. ;^)

The dragonflies are like living jewelry. The colors! The metallic sheen! And what you can't catch in stills is the way they move their heads like tiny monkeys.

Amazing!

Thanks. :^)

I like lizards. So very few of them are really dangerous.

And they eat BUGZ, which generally endears me to critters.
