Grandpa Igasho laments, “You know, it ain’t easy being orange. I believe I’m the very VERY Best, but I’m getting very Very Bad Press!”
“My green ‘so-called’ friends say my colour’s fake.”
“Look at us. We’re also Green Iguanas. So what’s with the orange?”
“Don’t they realise that I’m the Big Boss around here? I’m a legend in my own lunchtime! There should be poems written about me, but sadly, nothing rhymes with ‘Orange’.” 😦
Just a bit of nonsense for a mundane Monday.
“Have a good one,” as they say here in the USA.
Sylvia, I get the evolutionary significance of brightly colored males attracting more females, but does Grandpa Igasho know his spines on fire. He’s one hot dude. ~James
Haha……..well I think he knows just how hot he is. He’s the bigliest and most amazing of all the iggy’s. Just let anyone deny this, and he’ll say that they are spouting fake news. 🙂
You have some really interesting wildlife where you’re living.
I think the orange color of Grandpa Igasho is stunning.
Beautifully photographed …
Issy 😎
Thanks so much, Issy. I noticed yesterday that the orange id fading now. Maybe mating season is over. 🙂
Hopefully when lil ones are born you won’t have an overabundance. : – O
Wow that orange colour is amazing, it looks like a flame. Great photo!
Thanks, Gerrie. He’s magnificent.
Haha that made me laugh out loud Sylvia.
That’s good, Sue. 😀 xx
He is an impressive color. It’s a shame that nothing rhymes with orange, except another orange, of course.
Hehe Well, at least you tried, Bun. 🙂
Lovely photos as usual. That first is my favorite though.
Thanks, Amy. 🙂
He’s a very cool dude. Don’t know why he’s getting so hot under the collar? Handsome as can be 🙂 🙂
Ah well, some people with red hair can lose their cool very quickly. 😀
When the orange is natural, it’s just not the same. These fellas look good. 😐
I so agree, Lorna. Fake isn’t a good look. 🙂
he is the most AMAZING colour
Yes he is, and it’s not fake tan either. 🙂
Oh my – orange is beautiful. It’s one of our favorite colors here at the Hotel Thompson. XOXO – Bacon
Thanks, Bacon. I’ll tell him you approve. He’ll be so happy. 🙂 xx
🙂
😃
They are all really nice on the photos Sylvia, prachtig! ❤
Thanks so much, DellaAnna. 🙂
Strange rhymes with orange 😊
Well, sort of, if you pronounce it sotringe. 😀
Excellent captures!
Thanks, Frank. 🙂
Awesome pictures of Mr. Orange and Green here! Although I am a bit scared of Mr. Orange.
Me too, YC. We must all stand together. 😃
Ready to alert each other to run away quick 🙂 That is a good idea.
Hehe….Boots at the ready. 🙂
That’s why orange is unique and very, very special 😀
Haha it’s the greatest, most special colour in the entire universe. I shall decree it so. 😅
Oh, but I love your orange colour sweetie! Lovely post, Sylvia! 🙂 xx
Thanks so much, Marina. I’ll tell him you said he’s a sweetie. 😃
🙂 xx
such fantastic colors!
Thanks, Lisa. 🙂
Knock Knock
Who’s there?
Orange
Orange who?
Orange you glad to see ME!
Always, Nancy. 😃
Yay! Tell Grandpa Igasho that he will have to settle for a knock knock joke since nothing rhymes with orange.
He may not like that, but it will have to suffice. 🙂
Amazing photo’s and superb orange color..and what is he big.
Thanks, Marylou. Yes he is very big. 🙂
Handsome fellas they are!
Thanks, Joan. Yes they are. 🙂
Fake news. No iguana is that orange. Except maybe in Sweden.
Hahaha…….great comment, Anabel. You win the prize today. 😅
Why thank you! I bask in your esteem.
Just don’t let it go to your head. 😅
qui in Italia gli “arancioni” sono chiamati i monaci buddhidìsti….hai visto mai che anche lui voglia intraprendere quella strada?
è un magnifico lucertolone, certo molto orgoglioso della sua livrea e gli altri sono “verdi” di rabbia ha ha
felice notte Sylvia
So you think that they’re green with envy? I hadn’t considered that, Annalisa. Maybe you’re right. 🙂 xx
sì sì, penso che siano dei tipi invidiosi ha ha baci
Spectacular, as always!
Thanks so much, Rebecca. 🙂
Love photos and story….
Both beautiful!
Thanks, Anna. Glad you enjoyed. 🙂
Great post and love King Orange, how cool!
“A legend in my own lunchtime!” ROFL Thanks, I needed that.
Haha Thank, Patti. 🙂
What amazing colours these lizards have! Fabulous images, Sylvia!
Thanks, Pete. They are quite something. 🙂
What a cool dude he is! Great shots Sylvia xxx
Thanks, Dianne. He is very cool-looking and certainly much quieter than you know who. 🙂
Like everyone else – love these pix and had a great morning opener with your accompanying commentary!
Have a good one!
Thanks, Laura. Glad you enjoyed. 🙂
Amazing photos.
Thank you so much. 🙂
I bet he almost glows in the dark!
Most probably does, Carol, but I’m not going out there in the dark. 🙂
Why ever not, Sylvia?? 🙂
Amazing pictures! Speaking of Iguana’s and Florida, driving to work I can sometimes spot up to ten or more sunning in the grass alongside the highway.
Thanks, Holly. These creatures seem to everywhere. There are always a couple on our roof. 🙂
They are very prolific. I can’t believe how many I see of all sizes. Not concerned with the traffic at all.
Nice photos. Lovely iguanas. Great commentary. I’d choose an orange crested iguana anyday over the orange one …
Thanks so much. I agree with you. Much less bothersome. 😃
Well Grandpa, perhaps it’s time to invent a new word 🙂
What about ‘bigly’? Will that do? 😅
Definitely 🙂
Gorgeous photos. 😀
Thanks, Cee. 🙂
Great photos!
Thanks, John.
Haha…love it! Beautiful photos. You have a good one too Sylvia! 🙂 xx
Hehe…….Thanks so much. I sure will. 👍😘
🙂 😀 😉
Orange is one of my favourite colours! Great shots.
Thanks, Fi. I can’t wear orange, but it is a very cheerful colour. 🙂
😀😀
😅😃
Fabulous shot, Sylvia!
Thanks, Jill. Only one more day. 🙂 xx
Yikes! xo
😘
On the other hand they could help save money on car insurance! a la GEICO spokes iguana 😉
Hahaha. That’s a great idea, Andy. 🙂
😀 😀
From your own private national park? 🙂
(Have a good two. At lest)
😉
Absolutely, and also in Florida. 😀
That’s where you have a ‘gator “pet”, right? 🙂
Alibaba hasn’t shown his face here since September. 😓
Neither have the 40 thieves I hope?
😅😎
We aren’t getting political now, are we? 😉
Would I ever?!! 😆
Beautiful pics
Thanks, Shelly. 🙂
You’re welcome!
Sjoe…
