Oh, OK -- he looks very tropical. :)

I have gecko's running around but I'm not actualy sure that they are geckos???

CoreHHI, Maybe they are anoles? I see them in my area around ponds and woods

Toad lily..

You can get a cool new photo every day. I just snapped this after noticing them yesterday around the Butterfly Ginger. It's a Hummingbird Moth. Their tongue is incredibly long - almost hard to believe.

Great photos! Really like that first one!! I wanted to get shots of the HM's as they came in, But, I haven't gotten hardly any this year oppossed to last year!! They usually always feed at the Moonflower Vines in the evening, But, This year I have only seen one and that one was a couple months back, I don't know if it's because of all the dry weather or not.

Yes Iris they are anoles.

Todays Monarch..

CoreHHI, I thought they might be, Thanks!

Monarch#2..

Bee on Foam flower..

Keonikale: That's the clearest shot of a H. Moth I've ever seen.
Iris: I envy you your Monarchs. Great shots!

Iris,
Your photography is breathtaking. I haven't seen any better nature pictures anywhere. You deserve some type of recognition for your work. Have you tried sending some of them to "National Geographic" ?
My grandaughters uncle is a wildlife photographer for them and honestly, his photos are no better than yours. You are very talented.
Lynda

Lynda, No, I have never tried sending any anywhere, I never really felt that they would make the grade. I thankyou so much for your uplifting comments, It boosts my energy to strive for better photos!! Thanks again!

Iris and keonikale, both of you have posted especially beautiful pictures. Keonikale, I love the pic of the gray tree frog, as well as all of the pics of the tropical plants. They are gorgeous. Iris I love your pictures too. I'd love to get a hummingbird picture like that! Your insect shots are amazing. Core I really like your sunflower shot as well.

Thanks, this has been a great thread :)

Thanks sweetbay103!

Rose (Golden Showers) Took this in my kitchen the other night because it was already dark when I got home from work. :(

Here's looking at you!

Does anyone but me see a snake's head in the original pic posted by Keonikale at the beginning of this thread?

Which pic? The frog?

Yes, the frog.

I'm confused.

I don't see the snake. ?????

H, are your trying to create massive havoc here? Now we'll all be looking for the snake! ;-}
