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)

    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!"

    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?
    The goal of my photography is is the effective, original communication of a feeling expressing truth, beauty, or love.

    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
