Young Steve Irwin in Training! Photo

Photographer’s Note

My 7 year old son came racing up to me yesterday with these two little beauties (anole lizards). Here in Central Florida they are everywhere, and my son spends an hour or two every day, catching, then reluctantly, releasing them back into the wild. He is great at it, and often shows the other kids in the neighbourhood how to do it. No snares or traps are used to catch these little guys, just a quick wit and two very fast little hands! Maybe Steve will have a job for him one day!

Je n'aime pas trop les photos animalières lorsque les animaux, sont sortie de leur contexte. Mais comme chaque règle à une exception la voila !
Mais j'avoue que sans la note je n'aurais pas fait d'exception ;-)
Il est fort ton fils pour attraper ces petits lezard !
Une belle hitoire que tu nous montré avec une jolie photo .
Le seul petit defaut est le cadrage bas qui est proche du lezard de droite , le privant ainsi de "liberté" .

Merci John ;-)

Ps : Il pourrait m'en attraper un que je fasse une macro ? :-)))))))))))))

Great catch and they are beauuuuuutifull, like Steve Irwin would say ! Cute story John, it really adds to this pic to now the context in which it was taken. I like your blurred frame, like in a dream. And I have a great smile seeing this shark on your son's t-shirt. Would that be the kind of animal he aims to catch one day ?
