don't be afraid

i spied this guy on the deck and ran to get my camera

because he was totally brown with black markings

i rarely see them that color

but by the time i got my camera and chased him around

he went back to his olive green color and soon 

this head had changed from light green to brilliant blue.

i kept saying to him
'don't be afraid'
but he wouldn't let me near him
finally i managed to get within inches of him to get this
(didn't use zoom)

such a beautiful creature!
the detail blows me away!

today was such a lovely day here

a slight breeze is blowing 

and it is so refreshing

i had a nice visit with laura and sebastian this morning

so good to catch up

we had lunch here together

i thank God for friends like her

i wanted to take a photo of laura but she wouldn't have it

so here is a photo of sebastian,

the sweetest baby ever!
