How did I get into this mess?

And more important, how do I get out?

  1. Great capture. And caption.

    Wonderful, I could study this and think about it for hours.Such detail and those spikes on the agave love scary, but maybe not to your little anole.
    I assumed he’d found a good hiding place. But now I wonder if he was hunting in there. And I can tell you, those spines are sharp! —Pam

    Fantastic – this did make me smile

  4. Great photo. We’ve all been in spots like that, haven’t we, where it looks like there is no good way out. I hope he made it out eventually.
    I’m sure he did. The anoles are incredible leapers. I’ve seen them jump from low branches of trees to the ground. —Pam

    What a cute little guy, and what an amazing photo! I hope he’s able to escape unscathed.
    Thanks, Amy. It looks like a tight spot, but I’m sure he knew how to negotiate it. —Pam

    This poor anole looks like he is holding on for dear life. What beautiful colors they are together. I am sure he feels protected there amongst the spines and spikes.
    I suspect so too. I have no doubt of his ability to extricate himself. —Pam

    What a great shot! That is one for the note cards! Love it.

  8. laura says:

    oh my!! these are some of my favorite shots of all time–ever! how amazing that you captured that. it’s perfect!

  9. The boy & I liked your lizard shots. I think they are so cute & we don’t have any here.

  10. The photos look like they could be used as one of those corporate inspirational/aspirational posters.

    He’s pretty cute, isn’t he? Thanks for your comments, everyone! —Pam

  12. Robin says:

    That is a great capture!

  13. Anna says:

    That’s a beautiful shot. You must have a hard time picking your favorite.

    I know EXACTLY how that little guy feels!
    Another brilliant garden moment, Pam!

  15. Lori says:

    Oh, these pictures make me laugh! Poor lizard. The anoles really seem to love my agaves as well. 🙂

  16. Iris says:

    Your photos are always so fantastic, but these are absolutely breathtaking! Thank you!
    Thanks, Iris, and everyone else who commented! —Pam

    what a lovely pictures! and your comment… lol… yes, how to get out?

  18. Awwww. What a cute little guy, Pam! How fortunate to have been in the right spot at the right time.
    Good for you for being a keen observer!

  19. Matthew says:

    Looking for tequila? Or just the worm?

  20. If I were that little guy, I think I’d be tossing a few expletives in!

  21. aiyana says:

    Great photos and captions. I hope he got out without getting hooked. I’ve never been able to reach into an agave and come out unscathed, no matter how careful. Maybe he knows the trick!

    Hi Pam! Your garden is just beautiful. I also love the butterfly on echinacea and the lizard, too! Great photos!
