There’s Something Up There…

This time I was lucky to have my small camera with me, with the macro setup I usually carry, I would never have been able to zoom in on this remarkable little acrobat. Here are a few of the photos I managed to capture as it balanced high against the sky.

Very slowly, very carefully, it made its way down the branch, one step at a time.

Occasionally it stopped and seemed to look right into the camera.

Some encounters are worth looking up for.

The Mediterranean Chameleon is not often seen here in Cyprus, as it spends most of its time hidden.
So I feel lucky to have crossed paths with two this summer.

    I especially liked the pose in the third photo of the chameleon.

    So wonderful of the chameleon to join our steps! 😁 I am even more impressed that you were able to spot it and got such wonderful shots. Great job.

      Thank you, Pepper! 😊 I guess we were simply meant to cross paths — although I certainly didn’t expect our little encounter to happen so high up in a tree! 😂🦎

    What dynamic photos! Small, small, but still it seems to me that it is an actor in the movie Alien. 🦎👽

      Haha, I hadn’t thought of that, but now I can definitely see it! 👾 Thank you, Aura! 😄
      By the way, I’ve tried several times to comment on your latest post, but my comments don’t seem to be going through. They may have ended up in your spam folder, so perhaps you could have a look there?

        You’re right, Anita. I found it, thanks for letting me know. I don’t know why it hid in spam, especially since you’ve commented on my blog before. 🤷‍♀️

        1. Anita Avatar

          You’re most welcome, Aura! 😊 I’m glad you found it. Apparently, WordPress had other ideas! 😂

    Nature blessed you – and us with your photos. What a terrific encounter. That chameleon is quite the acrobat indeed.

      Thank you, Egídio! I certainly felt lucky to have crossed paths with this little fellow, and to have my camera with me at just the right moment!

    Oooh, vilken lycka! Sånt bär man med sig som en glädje förstår jag. Underbara bilder på den lille rackaren!

    1. Anita Avatar

      Tack så jättemycket. Ja, jag belv verkligen glad och överraskad när jag insåg att det faktiskt inte bara var en gren. Och som tur var hade jag med min lilla kamera så jag kunde zooma in den när den sakta rörde sig neråt.
