Some random antigua pics from 4/20

[urbpan]

I didn't take as many pics on the 20th, so I can share all the good ones, even though they are exceptionally random. Here's a big green tree lizard--another species of anole Anolis leachii.




Some cultivated flowers growing by the house.


And a wild one growing in a nearby garden bed. Clearly in the Aster family, but beyond that I'm stumped.


Another green tree lizard, this one making better use of the local camouflage.


And now for something completely different, a Saturday trip down to the market in town (St. Johns).


Everyone tried some fresh coconut water, prepared by a man deftly wielding a huge knife.


This is the inside part of the market.


This is a variation on the Calvin car sticker I hadn't seen before. Baffling.


Back at the house, a mystery moth poses on a chair cushion.

Very nice sets of pictures -- I especially liked the explanation of telling the birds apart by behavior -- but what, no picture of the man with the huge knife?!

this was the entry I meant that comment for!

The lizards are awesome. A couple of the lullaby/nursery rhyme songs on the album of songs from Guadeloupe-Martinique-Haiti that I got feature lizards--in one an anoli (must be a variant spelling of anole?) proposes to a mabouya (another type of lizard), but is turned down. In another, both those lizards are among a list of creatures that fall in the forest (along with a grass snake and a toad).

Sometimes you see green coconuts in the supermarket (rarely, but sometimes). I'm tempted to get one and try the water.
