Bright colors by Siwa

Shark infested waters at Sea Life Park. I love the colors that water takes on.  Photos never seem to be able to do them justice.

A Green Anole (Anolis carolinensis) at the nursery. These lizards change colors from green to brown like chameleons. The purple thing is called a dewlap. These lizards use them to impress mates and to challenge others when fighting over territory.
A Seven Spotted Lady Beetle (Coccinella septempunctata) on a Metal Leaf plant (Hemigraphis alternata).
Croton (Codiaeum variegatum) leaves, the green ones are new while the pink one is older. They always start out bright green and yellow but as they age they gain reds, oranges and pinks.


The nursery where I work is full of these colorful Day Geckos.  They are curious and love sweet fruit.
