Florida is Crawling with Brown Anoles
After the Rain, Before the Breakfast

Everywhere Neal and I Look
After last night’s rain, Neal and I walked down the sidewalk from the condo in Ponte Vedra. There sat this fella on a wall, peering between the green, twisty spider lily leaves. Brown anoles are among Florida’s most familiar lizards.
Walking around the condo grounds, these little guys can be found in various colors and sizes. They scurry, leap and climb everywhere and on everything. On plants, yards, tree trunks, fences, and walls. They love to eat insects, juvenile green anoles and other brown anoles. I am truly surprised that we haven’t discovered a dead one in the condo yet.
“I’ll just take your picture. Go find some breakfast, little guy.

Back to mealtime. Be careful, though. Something else may be hunting for a quick bite.
Snack, snack!
THIS WEEK I NOTICED
My Feet Can Wait
Not wanting to step on the tiny things that scurry about, I’m watching where I put my feet. My attention pans over to the wall. Our walk can wait a minute. This is Florida. There is green everywhere, but I’ve spotted someone “Brown”.
A Table Between the Leaves
Ok Robert, don’t get too close! There is no way to know how long this anole has been holding still waiting for an insectoid morsel to get within striking distance. Slowly put the iPhone back into your pocket.

THE CONVERSATION CONTINUES
Who’s Out After Rain?
Our walk brought us face-to-face with this fella. Tell me who’s sharing your stretch of sidewalk once the rain stops.
“Who made you watch your step on your latest walk?“
“Shake a bush and everybody moves. I only came over to take a picture!“
