'Splain yer picture

[Chebasaz]

You took that picture????? Impressive!!!! It's magnificient!!! Stunning!!! If you would have told me it's out of a national geographic I would believe you.

I love photography, and take pictures of everyone and everything, but I never quite had the oppurtunity to take one of that!


...what is it??

Well thank you! I have to give most of the credit to Nikon though. They make some great cameras.

As for what it is - It's a Cuban Rock Iguana. They grow to around 3-4 feet long, though there's one or two around here that are 5+ feet. They're usually pretty docile and you almost have to step over them while walking on the sidewalks. They're all over the place here.

Cool little critters, though they're still wild animals. Was diving last weekend and in between dives a large male went after my buddy's bare toes. Bit him hard enough to start bleeding, though it was nothing some iodine and salt water couldn't cure.
