Green Anole (Anolis carolinensis)

 Being outdoors here on our own property, you almost daily can observe our garden critters.

Here below is the Green Anole (Anolis carolinensis) ←click link and it is about 5-8 inches long or 12-20 cm.

Nicely basking in the sun on an agave leaf!

They can either be green or brown, depending on environmental conditions.

Our Green Anoles are rather at ease with us...They even made love in our presence!
Do you have any lizards in your garden?

Pieter Using the DR Trimmer Mower with Beaver Blade and String

On December 20 of 1995 I did make a video when Pieter again did use the DR Trimmer Mower with Beaver Blade at first and changing to String.

So finally the remaining wilderness succumbed!

Tackling such a reclaiming job, you need some special equipment so Pieter got himself this DR Trimmer Mower

Short video and with clickable points when viewed on YouTube direct.

This is what Pieter was using...

First in video he shows the use of the Beaver Blade for tougher things and latet with the strings as seen clearly in video.

Eastern Kingsnake or Lampropeltis getula

 The Eastern Kingsnake or Lampropeltis getula is harmless!

When I spotted this one, I ran to grab my camera...

It turned its head as if to say: Hurry up, I don't have all day, waiting for you!

Okay okay, I follow you, just move on...

Of course it went straight for the creek!

It never looked back at me again and went head first into the creek...

Knowing they love to be in the water, makes you realize how easily they could hid on the edge of the pond, in the mud... as well as snapping turtles.

Pieter sure has been very brave for: Cleaning Our Pond and Fountain ←click link

Have you 'followed' once or more times a snake?
