I think that Iggy must have seen my Monday post with Anatole showing off his beautiful orange dewlap. There were many complimentary comments, and people obviously found the dewlap display most impressive. Yesterday, not to be outdone, Iggy our resident lime-green rock star was waiting for me on the same rockery. “C’mon out with that camera and I’ll show you my party trick too.”
“Can’t have that small fry Anatole getting all the limelight. Now just make sure you get a really good shot. One to get ready, two to be steady, three to prepare and Ta-Da! ”
“How do you like that? Pretty impressive hey? It might not be clockwork-orange, but it sure tones much better than Anatole’s does; far more classy in my humble opinion. Now I’m sure they’d also love a view of my spiny ridge. Don’t I just look like a mini dinosaur?”
“I’ve been told that my left profile is my best side. What do you think? Am I handsome or what?”
He really pulled out all the stops to impress you all, but all of a sudden our young Iggy got tired of the attention and scuttled down into the shade. “It’s just so exhausting being a celebrity. Let’s see how my WP ratings go, and maybe I’ll pose again for you and your friends some other time.”
This post is linked to Jude’s ‘Photography In The Garden Get A Little Closer’ challenge.
A very happy Thursday to you all.
I can’t stop laughing
I need to know if kissing Iggy will bring me a King or Prince to save the day? Ha ha ha! I would rather kiss a dry lizard than a wet frog! 😀
Hahaha What a choice, Robin! I don’t think Iggy will turn into a prince, so maybe you should rather go for someone on two legs. 🙂
The wonderful detail and rich color your captured in your images is so spectacular.
Thanks so much, Charlie. 🙂
He definitely knows how handsome he is! Wowzie.
No question about that, Pam. 😀
green with envy how you have him in your garden
Thanks, Ruth. He’s such a little star. 🙂
Stunning photos 😀
Thanks so much, Liz. 🙂
What a lovely creature, I do love their little legs. He was posing so beautifully I am sure he is happy with your WP rating!
Thanks, Ute. Yes, adorable little legs. he didn’t do too badly and almost up there with Anatole. 😀
what a cutie! and a lovely shade of green, too! great shots, Sylvia! 😀
Thanks so much, Lola. 🙂
I think these fellows are amazing to watch…you captured great detail!
Thanks so much, Heather. 🙂
That is so cute Sylvia, a star in the making…
Thanks, Pauline. I think so. I’m doing my best to promote hi, 🙂
Now that is an impressive fellow!
Thanks, Gerrie. I love seeing him around. 🙂
Truly impressive close-ups, Sylvia 🙂
Thanks so much, dear Paula. Have a wonderful weekend. 🙂 xx
I like all of these, and you are so lucky he sat still and posed!! I love the angle and his movement in the third one, but all are crisp and clear!! For some reason, I love lizards, always have. Maybe I was a lizard in a past life?
Maybe you were, and there are worse things to be than a handsome lizard. Thanks so much for your compliments about the photos. he was an easy subject. 🙂
!!!
Fabulous shots.
Thanks so much, Fi. 🙂
Impressive!
Thanks, Patti. Yes he is. 🙂
You didn’t disappoint, Sylvia! I’m sure he was happy with these very presentable shots 🙂
Thanks, Helen. His portfolio is growing nicely. 🙂
Handsome doesn’t even begin to describe him. Have you submitted his headshots to Hollywood? A new heart throb…
Maybe I should do that, Rosly, I think that George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Daniel Craig are now getting a bit past their sell-by dates. We need some new male blood in Hollywood, and Iggy Jr. just might fit the bill. 😀
I totally agree!
Great shots, Sylvia, love that last one, he’s really giving you the eye! 🙂
Thanks so much, Donna. Yes, he was looking straight at me, but didn’t seem to mind my being so close. 🙂
I bet he was winking at you! 🙂
Haha. Yes, I can see he’s very cheeky. 🙂
guarda come si pavoneggia..sembra una fotomodella molto orgogliosa di essere fotografata! 🙂
Thanks, Annalisa. I’ll tell him that you were impressed. 🙂 xx
Iggy is so pretty (and would be a little scary if he was ten times bigger). Give him my best and let him know green is my favourite colour! 😀
Yes he is, and I’m really glad he isn’t ten times bigger, although I did see a really big iguana today which was probably at least ten times as big. He jumped in the water when he spotted me, before I could get a good shot. 😦
Yikes!
😆
Handsome Iggy! The photog did very nice capture very pictures of Mr. Iggy here. He is a bit scary that he looks like a dinosaur scaled down 🙂
Thanks so much, YC. Definitely he must be related to the dinosaurs. 🙂
What a beauty or perhaps I should say, “How handsome!”
janet
Thanks, Janet. I’ll relay your compliment to him. 😃
Let me know what he says, please. 🙂
Okay. 😀
Such an exquisite creature. I oohed and aahed at each lovely photo. Thanks Sylvia!
Thanks, Jet. Yes he is exquisite and I think he knows it. 😃
The cutest little dino there ever was!
Hehehe Yes he surely is. 🙂 Thanks for your visit here.
Oh yes, very handsome, Sylvia. He’s such a poser!
Thanks, Tom. Yes he a real natural in front of the camera. Wish I could hire him out for movies. 😀
Ah, the lovely Iggy looking awfully smug in that last photo. Your close-ups are getting better and better Sylvia. You have shown him off a treat. Can’t wait to see who pops up in your garden next once they hear about this post! Perhaps they have their own form of Twitter 😉
Thanks, Jude. I suppose I have to be careful what I wish for. It may be an alligator. 😕
What a fantastic green color.When he is sitting in the gras people can find him.
Thanks, Marylou. Yes, in the grass he is well camouflaged. 🙂
They’re beautiful! Great photos, Sylvia! 🙂
Thanks so much, Linda. 🙂
Very handsome Iggy and perhaps Anatole is just a bit too flash!
Thanks, Gilly. I reckon you could be right. 🙂
handsome indeed! I love their wonderful designs.
Thanks, Cybele. Me too. 🙂
He is really great. He is so self confident, I am sure he is convinced to also get best ratings in moon light…
Yes he is quite the star, but his ratings so far aren’t quite as good as Anatole’s. 🙂
Yep, his left side is pretty handsome. 🙂
Iggy Jr. will be so happy to know that. 🙂
Fun captions to excellent pics
Thanks so much, Derrick. 🙂
Love these pictures Sylvia!
Thanks, Nicole. 🙂
Iggy is a match for Anatole!
Thanks, Vicky. Yes, I agree. 🙂
Oh, tell Iggy he has another fan here!
I sure will. He’ll be very gratified indeed. 🙂
😎
Enjoyed a lot this new show…
The dewlap, here, is much more classy, than Anatole’one, you’re right!
Thanks, Anna. Glad you agree with Iggy. 🙂
These are beautiful. Possibly some of the best photographs you have taken. Certainly some of the best ones of yours I have seen. Well done. Cracking shots!
Thanks so much, Ark. I’m blushing after all that praise. 😳
Hey, Ssshh! I won’t tell anyone it’s a stuffed lizard if you don’t. Mum’s the word and all that, right?
🙂
Thanks. You’re a real pal. 😀
😉
What a great picture!
Thanks, Dawn. 🙂
Oh wie schön liebe Grüße und einen schönen Donnerstag eine liebe Umarmung Gislinde
Thank so much, Gislinde. 🙂 xx
Incredible detail on Iggy.
Thanks, Nancy. He’s quite splendid, isn’t he? 🙂
Iggy will always be number 1 Sylvia. Smashing pictures! 🙂
Thanks so much, Adrian. I’ll tell him. I’m sure it will stroke his ego. 🙂
I agree! More class….
😎😄
🎉
What a privilege having these guys compete over your frame …and our eyes!!!!! 😉 xx
Hahaha Thanks, Marina. Yes it is a privilege and I do love them all. 🙂
Nice to meet you Iggy. Oinks and snorts. XOXO – Bacon
Hahaha. I’m sure that if you came here, there would be a bit of a standoff between you and some of my neighbours. D) xx
haha! there’s certainly that smile in the end 😉
A smile, even that of an Iggy, can brighten any day. 😀
Agreed! 😅
He certainly loves the camera, Sylvia. Great photos!
Thank, Jill. He’s a natural. 🙂
