Aruba - This iguana found safety on an interior cactus and warmth from the sun, though it didn't seem to mind my photographing him. In post-photo, I realized it was scratching off a layer of skin on its belly. (70-200mm - 200mm, 1/60, f/11, ISO 125) Enjoy!

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

Nice and sharp image Thad. Also the lighting is just right and not overexposed. Bely scratching on a cactus! I won't try that.

Very nice catch on your part to spot this one deep in the cactus - excellent use of lighting as well.

Well that's one way to do it. I use a bath brush. Great shot, Thad.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
