Well…not telling yet but going to leave a few picturesque bread crumbs. This fine orange fellow was captured by DH (big hugs for doing a great job here) because he had the point and shoot camera with a good zoom lens and I was packing just my 35mm which didn’t get a good enough shot of him IMHO. This is the first time I’ve ever seen an orange one of these. Maybe I should’ve put a zoom lens on my Christmas gift list?
Any guesses where this was taken?

Okay – I cheated and tried googling “orange iguana” to see what location turned up. It was no help except to say that they turn orange when excited (courtship and territorial disputes – I am guessing the latter here). So, having failed to locate the area inhabited by the rare orange iguana, I will hazard a guess: Mexico!
Tell DH, please: NIce shot!
DH says thanks 🙂 And it could be that this critter (not in Mexico) was an old, excited, territorial iguana…LOL
Fairbanks, Alaska. (I’m not so good at guessing games.)
Wherever you went, I hope you had a great time.
I did! Oh I did! Alaska??????
That iguana looked cold.
Aren’t you supposed to be sleeping? 😉
I’m gonna guess someplace tropical…although ChgoJohn may just be onto something there LOL.
Both of you are nutters! LOL
What a great shot! I know where you saw this…on your way to Key West! We were just there about a month a go, and I couldn’t believe all of those iguana’s on the side of the road! We tried to get pictures of them, but they kept running away. I saw one that was about this big though. Very fascinating!
Thanks 🙂 Actually this big guy was right by Fort Zachary in Key West along with some friends.
I would never have thought that there would be so many of them out there. It was a pretty cool sight, that’s for sure!
You were there in December? So were we!
Hey! That’s pretty crazy!
We were there around the 2nd week of December – but just for a few days. My husband was there on business, and we took a few extra days to look around. It was a grand adventure, so different from where we live! We enjoyed our visit, although we ended our time there, by both of us getting sick 😦 Made for a really, rough trip home. But…we’re better now!
Glad you’re feeling better and as you left we came in. I’m looking forward to going back.
I think I would like to go back again some day as well…it was a very interesting place!
