My Buddy in the Shade

I'm in Orlando, FL as chaperone once again for the middle school band. While the kids went into the Spider man ride, I decided to seek some shade and wait for them. This little fella sat next to me, curious, and not at all spooked by my cell phone right in front of him.

Now that's what I'd consider an interesting companion! You've captured great details! And that smile...it's like he understood you and posed.

[Tammy]

Awesome capture of the little dude!

[Maggiemae]

oh, well shot and I think he expected that! Are they quite common round there?

[Daryl O'Hare]

@maggiemae Have no idea. But I guess so!

[Shirley]

Great capture. I love how his tongue is sticking out.

[Pam Knowler]

Fantastic capture with your phone! What a lovely companion!

@darylo by the way Daryl I finally made up my mind about a new camera and have ordered the Canon 5D Mark 111. I hope it lives up to all I have read about it for fast accurate focus! I can't wait to get my hands on it!

[Junko Y]

I'd say this was a good use of your waiting time! I know he's posing for you. He has that look in his eyes.

[Junko Y]

@pamknowler -- WOW -- congratulations on a big, new camera! Can't wait to see your results.

[Rachel]

Gosh, this was wild? What a great looking lizard.

[katy]

Well done! He looks terrific against the dark background!

[JuliaE]

Wonderful shot

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Great shot!

[kali]

[Yeshanghai]

Absolutely gorgeous! FAV

[Susan]

He's gorgeous!

[Danette Thompson]

What? You are in Orlando? So am I! This is a cool shot.

[Daryl O'Hare]

@danette ahhhhhh! I'm at ramada in kissimmee. We leave tomorrow. :(

[Daryl O'Hare]

@pamknowler ohhhhh very happy for you!! I know you're going to love it. Can't wait to see how it goes. You have the advantages of low light with the 5dm3 which I wish I had. Congratulations on the new toy! :)

[Daryl O'Hare]

@888rachel at a theme park! It was like it was looking for snacks like pigeons do! He jept opening his mouth and coming close. Freaky!

[Danette Thompson]

I hope you enjoyed your time. We had a long day at Universal today. Have not been since my own son was in middle school. 18,000 steps! Sorry to have missed you!

[Daryl O'Hare]

@danette A friend of mine on the trip told me that my samsung came loaded with a step counter and many other features. I logged 20,000 steps on day two, but I know I did much more the day before! Really sorry I didn't know you were there at Universal. We were there Sat. and Sunday. I know we are bound to meet some day!
