    Nice pictures Donna!! One Iguana looked white, do know if they come in colors like in the Galapagos Islands or they all the same?

    Wonderful photographs Donna of creatures we'd never see here in Scotland unless they were behind glass or in a cage.
    My friend Jan (who lives in Crete)has an Iguana, called Ian, who is allowed out of his vivarium to walk around the house.
    What a gorgeous bird the Baltimore Oriel is and what a treat it is for us to see one. Many thanks.

    Very nice pics. My fave are the iguana ones. Have always craved for one... or a cameleon, or an armadillo, or some big lizard (no snake though).
    But conditions around here would confine them to a glass thing :(

    I can feel the warmth all the way here! Just the ticket on a cold winter day. :D Lovely photos. I like iguanas. Are those eels in the lagoon dangerous or is it just that you don't like them?

    Great pics, Donna! I enjoyed seeing those animals....but what about that Baltimore oriole--so THAT'S where they go in the winter.
