FLORIDA WILDLIFE: THE VIEW FROM SIOUXIE'S DECK

You know how around most of the country, when people go outside in their back yard or deck, the most "wild-life" they encounter is the occasional cute little lizard?? 

Not here.

First to point out that today's Motivational Quote of the Day is a good one for Siouxie:

The fact is, sometimes it's hard to walk in a single woman's shoes. That's why we need really special ones now and then to make the walk a little more fun. Jenny Bicks, Sex and the City, A Woman's Right To Shoes, 2003

Jurassic Park 4: Miami Screamdown!!!

[Jeff Meyerson]

*but nice view, Siouxie, if you get that monster out of the picture*

[Lairbo]

Can we keep him? Can we, can we can we?

[Siouxie]

That's my pet leeezard, Larry. Cute ain't he?? He's there almost every afternoon and just stays real still while I take pictures. Harmless really.

Scott, I don't think there's enough leezard to make a matching purse.

[Margaritaville]

Cute lizard!

[MartiniShark]

Siouxie, is that your shoe? Real hide - must be expensive, no wonder you only have one.

[NotSherly]

Whoa.
Oddly glad now that I just have squirrels.

[WayneHere]

Dang. That would have solved the groundhog problem at my old house.

[Punkin]

My daughter had an iguana as a pet when she was eight. When she was 9 she had a monster. That looks an awful lot like him, Siouxie. Does he answer to Elvis?

[Chris]

I hear they taste like chicken. Too bad picking it off with a BB gun would result in the canal fish getting to determine if it tasted like chicken, and not me.

Typical Sunday for Siouxz, wake up, harvest new shoe material, clean and re-sharpen machete while hides cure in the sun, apologize to downstairs neighbors...

[Cheesewiz]

So Sioux, what the hell is that? Not being of the Miami persuasion.

Is it what happens when you mix iguanas and steriods?

[Margaritaville]

I have a cute little gecko in my bathroom window. It makes me sad that you can't hug lizards.

[Horace LaBadie]

"Vultures. I hate vultures."

Usual morning here.

[Siouxie]

Punkin, I'll try Elvis next time. Want me to ship him back??

pad, there are not downstairs neighbors - just the fishies in the (as CJ calls it) pond.

Cheesie, either that or THIS little green guy is all growed up now.

My poor cat had that WTF?? face there.

[Siouxie]

*pulls down the extra 't'*

[nursecindy]

That kind of makes the black snake in my backyard look tame. Beautiful view though.

[Annie Where-but-here]

I like the Western fringe on his back. Looks kinda like my jacket.

[Cat R]

The Geico lizard, who lost his job to that stupid little stack of money guy, has put on a few pounds.

It happens to the best of us.

[Clankazoid]

Jurassic Porch ?

[JaniceG]

I swear, looks like it's posing for the camera with a "come hither" turn of the neck. That is one nasty looking beastie. All we ever got when I lived in Florida was the occasional anole lizard that squeezed through the bathroom screen.

[Loudmouth]

He's the creature from the black laa-gooon
All he really wanted was a woo-maan.

[Loudmouth]

Siouxie hath charms to soothe the savage beast.

[Annie O'Where-but-here]

He looks like I feel after I drink.

I think you should name him after your favorite boxed wine. Is that a goiter on his neck or a beer tap?

[Ralph]

If Larry is a male, watch out for reptile dysfunction.

[queensbee]

ugggggh!! i'm not a florida person. i think, even tho i hate winter, i'll take a snow storm.

[Layzeeboy]

Could be worse. Could be a squirrel.

[Brian]

Dude!! He's a fat little sucker isn't he!!

I had one of those on my palm tree last summer and he didn't move for two days. I had to walk next to the tree to get in my door and it was a bit spooky to watch only his eyes move as I went back and forth past him. That looks like either Keystone Point or maybe Davie/Dania.(?)

[Siouxie]

Nope, Brian.

Miami/East Kendall area - near Baptist Hospital.

[Richard the Weasel-Hearted]

Seen a little kid with a water pistol in the vicinity by any chance, Siouxie?

[danceswithvowels]

Are you sure that isn't one of those Red Green Arrow skydivers after landing (with no aeroplane or parachute)?

Heckuva job on the flooding in the backyard, too!

[Brian]

OK, I'm in Miami Lakes.

[Siouxie]

*waves to my northerly neighbor*

[Count Sneaky]

The Count understands the little buggers make good pocketbooks, wallets and boots. I also understand, that this is the only reptile or amphibian meat that tastes like chicken...it tastes, I'm told, like road kill. Count Sneaky

[Count Sneaky]

Sorry. That sentence should have read, "the only reptile or amphibian meat that DOESN'T taste like chicken.." The Count is an old truck with parts falling off as he chugs down the road.
