Today's three posts didn't require going very far to shoot. All three were taken while soaking in my swimming pool in my backyard. This time, a reptile - one of 8-10 species of reptile found commonly around most Florida homes. No big wonder how this fella got its name - the chubby and bold lizards are not afraid to approach people and beg for food - in this case, whenever I'm in my pool, this one comes out onto the deck and waits for me to flick the flying ants out of the pool, which the lizard runs to and eats immediately. During flying ant season, I can have a dozen or more floating in the pool, and he'll eat every one of them! Unfortunately, they'll eat almost anything, which is why they will be found waiting at your feet at a picnic table for bits of hamburger, chips, potato salad...almost anything.
