Wild South Floridian

Taken with Canon 300mm 4.0L ISM lens and Canon Extender EF 1.4x II.
I found this iguana hanging out in a mobile home retirement community in South Florida. The local residents come to the canal to feed him and the birds bread scraps.

I had no idea something this cool lived in FL. I guess he went there to retire. This is an amazing Iguana and an amazing capture. Everything is done perfectly. Simply awesome! #3061512Kay E. Mahoney July 22, 2006
Fantastic capture. Love the colors. #3062085Cathy Laurenzi July 22, 2006
Thanks for all the nice comments. I grew up in South Florida 25 years ago and iguanas were pretty rare at the time, but from what I understand they have become common now and many of them are almost as large as alligators. This one was pretty small - about 3 feet long. #3062936Kay E. Mahoney August 26, 2006
