We all know that anoles (also known as American chameleons)
change color to aid their camouflage efforts. I’ve seen everything from green
to brown to almost black.
But I don’t think I’ve ever seen a very tan anole. (Hey! “Tan
anole”! Sounds like our senior U.S. senator, Dan Inouye! … never mind.) Not
until recently.
I’ve been bringing my camera outside with me whenever I sit
in my director’s lounge hair and read, because one day, an anole jumped onto my
shoulder from the adjacent table, and I had no way to record the event. How
cool would it have been to snap a picture of a lizard on my shoulder.
But I’m never ready for such occasions. A dove once flew up
behind me and perched on my head. Did I have a camera ready? No.
Ah, but I digress. So I did have a camera when a very light
tan anole sat there on the chair looking up at me. He (she?) even let me get
close enough to snap a nice picture.
See? à
