Dick on Aruba · May-13-2012, 01:19 PM #1

Found a partner that like to go more into photographing. I showed him various "hot spots" so he can prepare himself for the next time.

I really did not shoot much but still manage to capture a couple of snaps.

The colors of this small lizard are not very interesting, but I found it become of more value due the background.

Although we had not the best light, we're there so I snapped the shot anyways.

Only on this flower I can appreciate purple... (fill flash used)

Dick, are those lizards all over Aruba? There were definitely a lot of big iguana-type lizards in Costa Rica. They were like, well, squirrels. Maybe you'd like those better, Harry?

Thanks Dennis.

The bird is a Trupial. They sing very beautiful and loud.

Thank for looking Jones.

Yes, those small lizards, together with other kinds, are as common as can be. Iguana's? More than I can handle.

Nice series! I love the BG in the first one, too. Looks like an intellectual lizard. Best, Pam

That Trupial is a beautiful bird! I'd love to have the opportunity one of these days to photograph the fauna in Aruba, thanks for sharing Dick!
