I regularly skulk about the thousand depend for fun shot with which to use my 60 mm micro lens . This small dark-green anole is just one of a thousand or more to be found in my garden . I found him remain on the petals of an echinacea as if they were a bed . He seemed pretty conformable to a gargantuan lens inching up . ”Thanks , Marc , for sharing !
