My Turf

Posted by Stunner (Kingston, Jamaica) on 11 September 2007 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

I saw this lizard on a Pawpaw tree that is right beside my kitchen window. So I ran quickly for my camera and zoomed in through my kitchen window, but it seems he saw me too! Oh yes he did, and he certainly made it clear that I was encroaching on his turf!

We have variations of these same lizards; I've been trying for a while to catch one so "puffed up" to no avail. Congrats on this capture, it's a great photo.

Wow - through the kitchen window huh - i'm glad you have clean windows, i know if i took a photo through mine, i know some smudge of some sort would be interfearing with my subject. GREAT Close-Up.

I am glad you all liked this photo. For those who were wondering how I got this pic so clean through a window, it was a louver window, not glass. So I just stuck the camera lens between the louvers to take the shot.
