Do you remember Anatole the Anole lizard, sunbathing atop our rockery a couple of months ago? This brown coloured lizard, native to Cuba and the Bahamas, was first spotted in the Florida Keys in 1887, and is now Florida’s most common lizard.
I was looking out of my bathroom window with camera to hand, as some of you may have noticed I often do, when I saw a slight movement on one of the tree trunks. I zoomed in and saw Anatole making advances to his lady friend, Anna.
She wasn’t playing very hard to get, and before very long, they became BFWB’s. The Paparazzi strikes again!
So I guess it won’t be too long before we have lots of baby Anoles keeping company with the tiny green Iggys which have suddenly appeared around our garden.
Happy Thursday to you all.

Should they be x-rated…. ? when love strikes… out of your bathroom window. You might want to change your bathroom into a living room with a sofa…. more comfortable! 🙂
Haha Yes I think so too, Ute. Definitely for adult viewing only. 🙂
You’re running a lizard nursery. Best of all, they eat spiders. I could never have enough of them on my property — lizards, that is. 🙂
I’ll mail you a few dozen. 😅
How neat!! Little iguanas and lizards – would love to see those babies.
I’m with Sue. How would you like someone not only peeking in on your intimate moments, but taking photos of them AND posting them online??? Shame on you. 🙂
janet
Janet, you are so right! I wouldn’t enjoy that at all. I promise I won’t do it again…… until next time. 😀
well your “neighbors” are busy aren’t they:))
and thanks for the info.. the things ya learn:)))
Thanks, Kathy. Yes, they’re all very busy around here. 🙂
Lol
That was quick work. No wonder they’re Florida’s most common lizard.
Hahaha Yes, no wonder! 😀
Love that red neck, Sylvia. Nice clarity.
Thanks so much, Jane. 🙂
Wow…he is a good looking lizard…that red neck..how could she resist?
Thanks, Cybele. Confronted with such dashing looks, she became the girl who can’t say “No.”
He’s a real show-off!
Yes he is, but somebody loves him. 😃😃
Sylvia I think you are turning into a peeping Thomasina! 😀
😳 I hang my head in shame.
As you should. 🙂
😰
what a capture Sylvia! Who could resist that orange color?? Quite a beauty
Thanks so much, Lisa. 😃
…as you say, pretty soon a whole family will be there to photograph!
Thanks, Gerrie. I’ll keep a look out. 🙂
He’s a real beauty.
Thanks, Marylou.
Haha! BFWB!!!
😅
Cute pictures of these smaller version of Iggy. I am glad they became BFWB very quickly 🙂
Thanks, YC. Yes, I’m sure they are happy too. 😃
I had to chuckle since I kinda knew what was coming up in the next photographs! You are so much fun to visit with, Sylvia! 🙂 It reminds me of the old TV show, “Wild Kingdom.” I hope you have a fun night, keep your eyes peeled!
Hahaha Thanks, Robin. I hope that I never get boring, or I’ll stop blogging. 😄
No, you are so far from boring but you pictured him all blown up with his brightly colored chest, so I guessed, (and your title also gave me a big clue!) 🙂 Happy Friday, Sylvia xo
oh yes, i remember Anatole, Sylvia! beautiful capture looking at his best! certainly, love is in the air! 🙂
If they have any girl babies, please could one be called Anolisa?
Love is in the air! Happy Thursday! 🙂
True love wins out!
Another fantastic view from your bathroom, and much appreciated. That first photo with the orange dewlap is wonderful! Fun post, Sylvia~~
Thanks, Jet. Glad you enjoyed my bit of fun. 🙂
Lovely to see one again. Friendly little souls they are.
Thanks, Footsy. Yes, they are so cute. 🙂
Your bathroom window sure gives you a lot of “Peeping Sylvia” opportunities. Oh the things that you see! 🙂
That’s for sure, Cathy. Today, I saw something even more amazing, but that’s for tomorrow’s post. 🙂
Can’t wait to see that one!
The vibrant color like this, How could anyone say no 😄
Hehehe I guess you’re right, Andy. 🙂
😄
So the reptilian soap opera continues…
Oh yes, Marina. It will last longer than the British ‘Eastenders’ and ‘Coronation Street’ which my mom-in-law is addicted to. 🙂
Looking forward to developments 😱
I’m happy for them Sylvia! 😀
Haha That’s so sweet of you to say so, Adrian. 🙂
LOL! Poor things can’t have any privacy. 🙂 Great shots!
Thanks, Jill. Aren’t I terrible to keep such a close eye on on the goings on? Although, as it happens on my property, I guess I have a right to pry. 😀
Wow, those little guys are great!
Yes they are. 🙂
Oh, what a hoot! You paparazzo, you!!
Hehehe I’m just taking an interest. 🙂
😀😀
Beauiful little creatures, my friend.
Thanks, Dan. Yes they are. 🙂
Doin’ what comes naturally!
I remember that song. 😎
Such a beautiful lizard!
Yes he is. 😃
Oh a HAE 🙂 mushy with people, but nice for lizards
Do you mean HEA?

Oulike goedjies
Beslis. 🙂
True love prevails….
Hahaha Yes, he won her over. 🙂
