These little guys guard my garage against infestations of bugs. Both shots were taken with my Rebel XT, 100mm lens. I think the green one shows interesting colors, but I should have increased the DOF.

    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!"

    We are overrun by anoles here in Florida. In the summer, especially, you have to walk with your head down to make sure you don' step on them. And occasionally you find yourself watching tv and one pops up behind the furniture onto the wall.

    Here in North Carolina, anoles are more of an asset than a problem. I haven't seen many around my house. I actually like them, preferably sauteed with some onions. Laughing.gif [Only kidding.]

    Thanks for the remark about composition. I kinda' like that too. The in-focus head quickly draws your attention. Merry Christmas.
