went out around 10a for some #photography
when i went out a few days back without a battery in my camera, i talked with a guy at the marina about when iguanas wake up, so that was my second stop this morning, after seeing this li'l heron at the boat ramp
when i got to the iguana tree, a dog spooked them into the trees, but that's alright, had the big lens too
went up the hill, looking for peafowl, and saw this peacock
a fedex truck blew through while i was getting the camera out (trying out a more waterproof but slower to use bag)
butterfly
saw a monarch butterfly and decided to try to capture them (on film (actually digital))
someone in a brand new bronco waited for me to take the first pic here from across the street, pretty nice of them
went back downhill (had to go to the store), and one of the marina regulars had left some pineapple scraps out
got to watch this iguana come down out of the tree once they were confident i wasn't gonna bother them
the iguanas aren't too worried about smaller birds, but the birds are careful to stay out of tail-whip range
my mammal brain sees these pics and reads a lot of emotional intent into them, possibly not what the lizard is thinking
beverage
realized i had to wander off and get to the store and then back to work, but it was a good walk regardless, thanks for joining me!

@bonzoesc I didn't realize they sold Moxie in Florida, most places outside of New England it doesn't exist.
@bonzoesc Cool! What a beautiful creature. Iguanas are neat.
@bonzoesc the other day I was driving and someone had two plastic skeletons attached to the front grill of their Jeep and one was missing it's head. 🤣
