Came home yesterday to find two of the countless brown anoles around our house attached at the face. After a bit of research, it seems these guys like to fight it out to protect their territory.

All shots with Nikon D90 and Sigma 150mm macro. C&C welcome

    Those anoles are cool, great close-up of their battle, it makes them look so much bigger than they actually are. We had three green anoles growing up named moley, oley, and canoley, but they never fought over territory so it is great that you were able to capture them in their element.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
