Iguana's in South Florida

-


I live in South Florida and we have a lot of tropical creatures. A lot of salamanders and lizards. But over the past couple of years I have seen more and more iguanas roaming around. Some are huge. It fascinates me that they creates are just living among us. 

I saw this amazing black and orange iguana the other day. There is a family of them living in this tree. Every time I walk the dog I go to this tree to see what iguana is hanging out that day. This is the only black and orange one I have seen so far, the others are all green.

I just decided to google why are there so many iguanas here in Florida and google said: They're thriving there because South Florida's subtropical climate and lack of natural predators.

I have to admit, they are beautiful but they are taking over South Florida. They ruin crops and dig under houses and cause a lot of other damage. I hope that they come up with a solution to preserve these beautiful creates but help slow down the population in our neighborhoods.

 2.2.22 was yesterday's date and this picture was taken on the way to the courthouse for me to get married. We thought that this unique date would be the perfect one. We have been together a really long time, but it was time to tie the know. It was a beautiful day out as you can see. We did a quick courthouse ceremony and will have a party a little later. Just hoping to get through some of this Covid stuff so family can all be together. The sun was positioned perfectly behind that Palm Tree. The weather was perfect, not too hot which it usually is in South Florida. Luckily we have been having a bit of a cold front, which is a wonderful change!  Show me a picture from your wedding day.

Unperfect Pictures

I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra phone. The phone has a lot of great features, but the best thing is the camera. It is one of - if not the best camera out there on a smartphone. When I took a picture, I was amazed at the quality and detail of the pictures I was taking. You can zoom up to 100% and literally see the moon like it is right in front of you. Look at the picture above. I have always loved artsy things, like taking pictures, creating blogs and websites and writing articles. Mostly as a hobby, but when I saw how amazing the pictures looked, I thought maybe I can start to take pictures as a side gig especially since I have been looking to earn some extra cash. This sounded perfect to me. So I took some pictures and submitted them to some of the stock websites like Adobe and Shutterstock. The process to submit the photos is very simple and you add tags and title for each picture. I did not do any major editing to the photos, just very simple things as there is a lot t...

My pup stares at him in awe. They will follow each others move, it is very cute. I think if they had access to each other they would be good friends.  I look forward to seeing your art and hearing your story.
