You can take the GRITS out of Florida, but you can't take Florida out of the GRITS!

Doo, doo, doo lookin' out my backdoor...

We have a green anole that hangs out by the backdoor. Seeing him always makes me smile.  They used to be much more abundant until the brown anoles from Cuba began to take over. They're cute, too, but not as sweet as the greens.

I saw the female Knight (or Cuban) anole in the middle of the backyard this morning.  At first, I thought it ws a young iguana.  Thank God it wasn't!  We took some pictures of her, then she jumped up into the palm tree.  We heard some rustling and thought it was just her, but it turned out to be a male one.  Bigger and more colorful than the female.  We left them alone.  Looks like it may be a morning of lizard love...

Those anoles do liven up a place.
