In the early morning, the temperature was still cool and the anole was quite brown. It had crawled up into the sunlight on the tree trunk to catch some rays.
Within a minute, it started to turn green. I waited for several minutes in the hope that it would turn completely green but it was still to cool and it stayed the same color. So I had to move on.Click on an image to view a larger image

How cool! Anoles are very common where I am but I've never actually witnessed one changing color. Maybe I need more patience.
And some luck. I've seen then change color a few times, but more often than not, they're just brown or green.
What fun to see an anole in the wild. I kept them as pets when I was a kid - so much fun.
