We had a visitor today ...

He didn't stay long - maybe because he saw me coming at him with a broom.  It was a little disconcerting, however, to see him slip out under the closed side of the double door.  May be time to think about new weather stripping or something ...
There are some animals here that you just don't see at home - or at least not in the same situations.  The guy shown above was small, probably about 6 inches long.  There are also ground lizards that are 12 inches or longer.  Then there are the iguanas:

Then there is the herd of goats that wanders the island.  Here are some of them in the price club parking lot:


Not everything is weird or ugly or reptilian.  We'll be getting our own hummingbird feeder after watching all the birds flitting around our neighbor's feeder and resting in the seagrape tree by our balcony:




It's really fascinating to watch the hummingbirds - and I probably spend way too much time doing so :)

We've even seen a couple of deer, tho I haven't been able to get a picture yet.  I'll post one when I do!
