Pretty much every evening we head on up our hill and sit and enjoy the view over Harbour Club Marina. On this particular evening, I set my beer on the wall beside the bench and to my amazement a little anole lizard cautiously approached. He evidently was thirsty and started to lap up the beads of moisture that had formed on my Corona. What a photo op and my camera captured this cute event.

Turks Head Cactus Pods
Many of the Turks Head Cacti here at Harbour Club Villas are flowering and throwing off seed pods like crazy right now. They are providing a feast for our local population of anoles and curly tailed lizards. I haven’t managed to snap a photo of them actually eating one but I keep trying.

This fairly young cactus does not have a pronounced cap as yet but it is producing so many seed pods.

The seed pods are shaped more like a fushia coloured pepper elongated at the one end where it grows in the white part of the cap.

No seed pod but still a fair sized Curly Tailed Lizard and we do have some pretty large ones at the villas.
The seed pods of the Turks Head Cactus provides food for many birds and lizards who injest, fertilize, eliminate the tiny black seed to propagate more cacti.

Anole Lizard
A beautiful evening and time for cocktail hour overlooking the marina at Harbour Club Villas. An uninvited guest came to have a look but he’s been here before and I took photos of him then. He just loves to lick the moisture off the beer bottle. I’m thinking I will have to send these off to the Corona people as I think it would make a cute ad!
Hope everyone enjoyed these photos……I had fun taking them and just watching this little guy coming back time and time again to have a few licks of the beer bottle.

Frogs and Lizards
Hanging laundry out back can be hazardous as Barry found out the other day………..an anole lizard took a flying leap and landed on his forehead. Not quite sure what the little fella was looking for!! Of course he came looking for me to get some photos. I mean how often does something like this happen?
Anole Cocktail Hour
It was fun just sitting watching him as the sun started to set……….a great way to end a busy day!
Cheers!

Anole Lizards
I came out onto our deck today at Harbour Club to find some Anole Lizards sizing each other up as they prepared to defend their territory. I have never seen them quite this aggressive towards one another but I know that they are very territorial.

One Anole had a strong hold on the other so much so that his head was almost torqued right around. The fight consisted of grabbing the opponent with the mouth and then using the legs and tail for leverage.

A number of times these two disengaged and I expected one of them to turn tail. They seemed intent on settling the territorial dispute.
We find so many Anoles and Curly Tailed lizards on the grounds of Harbour Club Villas and Marina. Some are now getting quite big especially the Curly Tailed lizards. Hope you enjoyed these photos and I will look for some good ones of the Curly Tails for another post.
