Fun with Photobombs

11 years ago

We've all taken pictures to find later that a critter (or friend!) has sneaked into the frame. Sometimes this is intentional, many times it is not. I have taken pictures of plants that look great, and when I see them on the larger computer screen I see the photobombers.

This was my first one - and anole (which I always call a gecko) and a blooming Echeveria Black Prince. I think it is looking for another flower!

And they DO like flowers! Aloe rooikappie in bloom
This little guy was hiding in a jade.
They play hide and seek in Agaves.

And sometimes they come in pairs!

We've had a bumper crop of anoles this year!

    And the anoles really like Aloe plants!

    And staring at me from another Rooikappie

    And of course, there's always the show off!

    So who has been jumping into your pictures?

    I really enjoyed the Anole lizard and succulent friends show, Crenda!

    LOL! I absolutely hated these lizards when I was a kid. I swore they waited outside the door to chase me. Now they are everywhere! And I don't care!

    The native Anole lizards are green, but the brown Cuban Anoles have run them off. There are also some black Anoles, but they are too fast to catch in a picture. And I have a few other critters. Cuban tree frogs - which are eating the native green tree frogs. So Fish and Wildlife wants us to kill them.

    And hiding in my jade.
    AND in my rooting hibiscus.
    And my friend, the black racer! He comes out when I am watering my plants. Nosy bugger!

    OH - there are also some special birds. There's a big blue heron that actually comes out on the dock with us just in case we drop a fish. He's almost a pet, and we call him Oscar. Can't find his picture right now.

    But I do have my eagle pictures. There is a nest not too far away.

    And the Osprey eating on my dock -
    And finally the Hawk thinking about getting into the car -

    OK - except for the frog in the bromeliad, these guys weren't photobombing my plant pictures. But it sure is fun to see things like this in your yard! Even if they startle the heck out of ya sometimes!

    Thanks a lot Crenda *Groan. Seeing the animals and the dock makes me think of and miss my days in Miami. I used to have a manatee keep me company on the dock down my street right off of Biscayne. Past where the police museum used to be. (if that even exists anymore)

    Life was so hard then...work, then home to swim in the pool then have gin & tonics on the lanai when it got too hot and then do it all again the next day, etc., for a change of pace tom collins every now and then. yup, it was pretty rough.

    Crenda! I really like the lizard pictures, reminds me of the ones I saw running around a friends yard out in CA. Very quick and cute, bounce their heads around and hide in the plants, you'd see them jolt when you got too close. Frogs and Lizards fantastic pest control!
