Yeah, they take over for sure…I think everything will eventually if you live in the right environment. The devastation from the storms only made stuff grow back bigger than ever. Fascinating cycle!
Here is a frequent visitor at our new house…a green anole…they are quite vibrant!
My Benson would love that guy. He loves lizards. Drives him crazy. I sure hate it when he catches one.
Our Clifford is the same. He loves skinks too.
Skinks? Is that some Florida fauna?
Or a skunk 
So you are in NC now?
Yes, southwestern, spitting distance to SC, but still in the foothills.
Took this pic last night. The moon was so bright so the stars were hard to get in the pic. You can see the constellation cygnus, the northern cross up above the chimney pipe. I’m happy with the pic it’s the first time I have attempted to photograph stars.
Oh my. There are no words for how breath taking that is
Trying to get the full moon at dinner tonight downtown Santa Monica
My camera phone through the window? Meh 
Fig Trees lining 2nd street.
Thanks! I saw the lovely moon when I was out taking the pooch for a bedtime whizzy 
so then I went to grab my camera to capture these
