I was in my backyard in the peak of summer last year, 2007, when I came upon this tiny little baby lizard in a small flower pot in some aloe leaves. He was camouflaged, but I managed to spot him.

This little lizard was so young it did not run right away. It was so tiny, it was almost transparent. So lucky for me I had my camera, and was able to snap these pics. I used the macro setting and was able to get within inches of this little guy to snap some images.

You can see at one point he is sitting on top of a horizontal wooden dowel, his head was smaller than a dime. I took pic after pic, and luckily was able to snap a few dozen. These baby green anole lizard pics are no national geographic material, but I thought they came out really cool. So I decided to put them here and tell the tale.

Eventually the little guy took off, I at no point tried to touch him or disturb him in that manner. I often wonder if he is now one of the bigger lizards running around in the yard this spring, as anole lizards do live a few years.
