One of the Anoles?

I think! 🙂 It has the wrong markings for a juvenile Spiny-tailed Iguana which I see a lot in my garden and with my books and an online search I was not able to nail down a species right now, but I think he is in the large Anole family. I posted the pix on iNaturalist, so hoping someone there will identify this active little lizard on my Cecropia Tree. Here 3 shots from 3 different angles . . .

New Anole & Rain!

Giant Banded Anole, new in my garden, Atenas, Costa Rica
And I think he is different from the Green Tree Anole I posted earlier.
Maybe not. But I think larger and the stripes different.
I first saw this one on the tree stump I was preparing for my ceramic bird art.
I was waiting for the wood filler to dry so I could paint it & mount the bird.
It is now mounted as shown in yesterday’s post.
Rainy Season is back with rain every afternoon and today’s is especially good, started at 1:00 and still raining at 6:00!
The garden loves it!  🙂


I’m singing in the rain, just singing in the rain; What a wonderful feeling, I’m happy again.
