For my last post on the Calle Nueva Walk, here’s 4 shots of other things I liked along this little dirt country road . . .
For more of him, see my Common Basilisk Gallery.

This one in my Cecropia Tree seems to be shorter and fatter than most. 🙂 (Maybe he’s a pot-bellied old man like me!) 🙂 See my other photos from many places in my Gallery: Black Spiny-tailed Iguana. Or if you are a dinosaur-lover, you might like the mother gallery of that one: LIZARDS! Or maybe more-so, the CROCODILIANS! 🙂
¡Pura Vida!
On another very windy day I was unable to photograph bird or butterfly, but did get this Spiny-tailed Iguana (my gallery link) sunning on a limb of my slowly dying Cecropia Tree which doesn’t get as many birds as it used to. But all wildlife are a joy for me and this one doesn’t seem to be bothered by the wind. 🙂
The Black Spiny-tailed Iguana, Ctenosaura similis (my gallery link) is called “Garrobo” in Spanish and lives only on the Pacific Slope, which is also where I live. Here’s just two shots from one recently in my garden (living there or nearby) and the only neighbor I have who walks on my roof! 🙂 See more of this interesting fellow in the above-linked gallery.
And what about the Green Iguana? Well, he lives on both slopes, but I’ve not seen one in Atenas, I see many in the Caribe.
¡Pura Vida!

Thanks to Ellie for sharing that article in The Atlantic! It is at:
From last night’s devotional . . .
See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy. Colossians 2:8
It is tempting to call this a Green Iguana, but those do not live in my garden and these do! 🙂 The babies and juveniles of both species are very much alike, so location determines this ID. I see them in my garden a lot! And their parents & big brothers & sisters walk around on my roof and climb the trees! 🙂
See more of my many photos of this species in my GALLERY: Black Spiny-tailed Iguana. And oh yeah, the scientific name is: Ctenosaura similis.
¡Pura Vida!
