Saturday Critters - Sanibel Island Gecko

"The lizard in the image is a Common House Gecko (also known as Asian House Gecko, Pacific House Gecko, or Moon Lizard), scientifically known as Hemidactylus frenatus." ~Google A common gecko was small enough to wander into the shower through a small drainage slit in the window frame. He was so adorable. I didn't want him to die in the cottage we stayed in. With just a small prod to his tail, he jumped on my thumb; he was half the size of it, and I deposited him in the front garden. I hope he enjoyed the shower we shared. The photo was taken in Sanibel, Florida. Thank you to Viewing Nature with Eileen for the opportunity to take part in Saturday Critters .

Saturday Critters - Cardinal

A brilliant Cardinal doesn't seem much like a critter, but when he loses his head feathers to mites, he does fit into the critter category. Losing head feathers is common; we see a Cardinal or two and even Blue Jays with this condition yearly. Fortunately, when cooler weather arrives, the feathers grow back. I've only seen birds missing their head feathers in summer. The second photo was taken a summer or two ago. I'm thinking the pretty male in the first photo is fighting mites and might end up like the one above. Thanks to Viewing Nature with Eileen for hosting the Saturday Critters Challenge.

Saturday Critters - Ding Darling's Alligator

"The refuge was established to safeguard and enhance the wildlife habitat of Sanibel Island, to protect endangered and threatened species, and to provide feeding, nesting, and roosting areas for migratory birds. The refuge is part of the largest undeveloped mangrove ecosystem in the United States and is world famous for its spectacular migratory bird populations. In 1967, the refuge was renamed for conservation pioneer Jay Norwood “Ding” Darling, who was instrumental in its founding. More than 40 percent of the refuge is Congressionally designated wilderness." If you look closely, you may spot an alligator. Perhaps this cropped shot will help. That's my husband on the walkway, can you see the alligator hopefully floating beneath the bridge? The Ding Darling Refuge alligator, Sanibel, Florida, is my Saturday Critter. Thank you to the host Viewing Nature with Eileen.

Timelesslady: In my heart the faeries of the world will always be alive. Dolls will scamper about when children leave the room or fall asleep. Insects will play amazing symphonies to the Man in the Moon. Every night, whether cloudy or clear, the evening star will rise to be wished upon. My hands are always busy, my mind full of new ideas, things old, things new will be reworked into one-of-a-kind creations. Please check back from time to time...what lurks on these pages just might surprise you.
