Join me on the Blog porch at Leaping Lizard Cafe.
It's an early spring in the foothills of North Georgia.
Anoles are busy courting, mating and munching bugs. The anole is closely
related to the iguana and has the ability to change the color of its skin from
green to brown shades. I am interested in sharing the anole's appearance, habits
and sometimes surprising characteristics.

All photographs were taken from mid-March to mid-April of 2012.
Anole is closely related to iguana, which shows in this photo.
The male's dewlap consists of erectile cartilage that extends from neck and throat. When the males go courting, they bob their heads and display their dewlaps. Breeding can last for several months, starting in Spring.

His lunch seems as big as he is....
Here are some candid photographs of anoles going about their day.
Anoles like their high spots.

He must see someone he knows.
This anole looks like he's posing...
Guess he's able to catch bugs and display dewlap at the same time..
This looks like a cozy lookout spot.
May all your trails be happy trails...
