Camouflage Master

Captured on a quiet morning drive along Black Point Drive in Merritt Island, Florida, this detailed portrait of a Brown Anole (Anolis sagrei) showcases the reptile's incredible camouflage and alert posture. Perched on a weathered concrete post, its textured skin blends effortlessly with the natural environment, framed by the lush green foliage of the Florida wetlands. The Brown Anole, an introduced species from the Caribbean, has become a familiar sight throughout the southeastern United States, often basking in the sun or darting between garden walls and trees. This photograph highlights the silent beauty and intricate patterns of one of Florida’s most ubiquitous reptiles.
