I've been house/dogsitting the last few days so my take on life was from a different perspective. Usually when I house/dog/catsit, the view includes the water. This time, it included jungle view.
The rain fell, but I couldn't really hear or see it much. I've swept out Island Woman Lake in front of the cart for two days in a row now...just enough rain to keep it full.
Today was cloudy and sun on and off, with a lot of *in like a lion* winds. But all I could see were weird iguanas...nothing like those in my yard.
Two school boys came over yesterday to see the iguanas. Well, they didn't exactly *come over*, they came to the gate, said "iguanas, grande" and I said, c'mon up.
They were afraid of the dog (she's a big one) until they found out she was nothing to be afraid of...well, unless they were naughty, but they were nice. I pulled my computer onto the deck so they could see photos, while we were looking at the real deal right in front of us. They pointed out the huge old man and I took photos.
The boys didn't speak much English. My Spanish is shameful. We enjoyed the a good 20 minutes where language didn't matter much. Another moment in Paradox (and I didn't find anyone to ask for a date on this Sadie Hawkins Day - I guess I'd have to go out to do that, huh? Ooopsy me! glad to be home again).

I'd tell you, but then I'd have to show you the iguana poo stains....
The trees they were in are VERY tall (yes, here, amazing). So I just took the shot but it was so far that you couldn't really see anything but the image, so I put sepia tone on it. Very complicated, you click the *sepia* button.

| Ahh, I was wondering what hazards were involved with getting that kind of shot! Excellent choice with the sepia button, it really looks like an iguana convoy in the trees.
