Leapin Lizards

Some of you may remember a funny, now called a comic strip, called Little Orphan Annie. One of Annie's favorite exclamations was "Leapin Lizards". While in Long Key a little lizard leaped on our picnic table and gave us a show. He was a Brown Anole male lizard. The male has what is called a dewlap that he extends from the bottom of his throat to attract a female. He flashes his dewlap quickly, then retracts it, must have taken 2 dozen pictures before getting one with it extended. Mighty pretty guy but didn't see any girls appear, some other guy must have had a bigger dewlap, what else is new.



 

Who could resist this guy




Another nice camping spot in Long Key
 




 

A lonely little mangrove growing in the Atlantic off Long Key.





Play it and they will come. Fellow camper singing and playing guitar, was nice of him to share his talents.
