Here by Glimpses Known

Ha! Now that I know to look for the chameleon in the avocado tree, I found him again this morning, and camera in hand, I set out--or rather sat in the window--to get a photo worthy of a glimpse. Alas, it shall not be a high-quality pic because he was at the top of the tree, and my window is on the ground floor; we don't have any on that side of the house on the top floor. So here he is, zoomed to the max. (We need better lenses. :-/ )

Conversation with mana_trini following the first sighting:

Me: I saw a chameleon in the garden today! ::bounces:: But I didn't get to take a picture because there weren't any batteries in the camera.
He: But they're on the desk, right by the camera.
Boring discussion ensues about batteries, in which the wubs is declared to be in the right.
Me: I sat in the garden for half an hour trying to catch another glimpse of it. No luck, but I did see it's droppings, so I--
He: Oh, do they change color, too?

:P

I love the little split toes/feet. Lizards are so cool!

Yep, they're fascinating. I used to love to play with horny(ed) toads when I was little; I wish chameleons and geckos were so easy to catch and play with.

Maybe with a butterfly net?

Yeah, but I don't want to scare them to death. I'd only play with them if I thought they liked it. Like horny toads when you flip them onto their backs and pet their pet their bellies. :)
