Just add sunlight

Jessica and I have been photographing (and then posting) green anoles since our first joint trip to Louisiana back in 2012, with subsequent sessions in 2013, 2016, and 2018. Despite two visits in 2020, we evidently broke our streak. The photos below may not be the best we've ever taken, but at least we're back on track, and back in Louisiana again.

We brought a cold front with us, and when Jessa first spotted this little guy, he was brown and rather sluggish. But a few minutes and 12 frames later (not all of which were of the anole), he was in the pink green.


This second one greened up much more quickly, but then he had already been active—he came to Jessa's attention by crash-landing in front of her, and was soon doing push-ups and throat-fanning, though alas she stopped shooting before that point.


More trip photos to follow soon.
