Basking Anole...

I was out taking property photos in a sub division called Fern Acres the other day and I caught this guy checking me out from a Hapuu fern leaf. He was very calm and really not ready to abandon his place in the sun, just kept a very watchful eye on me while I got this photo.

Hawaiian Ladybug!

This little gal (guy?) was cruisin around one of the lots my company has for sale in Hakalau (on the Hamakua Coast of the Big Island), she just kept landing on all these perfect items as back drops...and I just kept taking photos! We don't have many ladybugs here, I think the predator bug competition may be to much for them, or they may fall prey to the skinks & geckos themselves...whatever the reason I really enjoyed this rare visit.
