Puzzlepieces – tag ‘myphotos’

A few weeks ago I was in Florida, around the Fort Lauderdale area, and for the first couple of days, it was very cold, for Florida. Too cold for many lizards, that’s for sure. Here are a couple of my photos of deceased lizards taken after it warmed up. These are mostly iguanas and other large lizards, as I didn’t take photos of any small ones.

In the second photo you can see that something has removed the lizard’s tail, presumably after it died. The second-last photo shows three large iguanas lying on floating plant material, all of whom presumably froze and fell out of a large tree that reached over the water; the last photo is a cropped zoom-in of one of those three.

The tiny text is hard to read on the map (mentioned several posts ago), but using it and Google I find that this building is probably on Gorgas Avenue. I liked it because of the dual staircases.

I approached this bus from behind and first thought that it was sort of an ‘old-time’ bus, or imitating an ‘old-time’ bus, but it’s talking about the Internet, so obviously not.

Looking at the map mentioned (several photos ago), it appears to be in Pershing Square, or at least near there. Around the “Main Post” area.

This is the only photo in this set that I modified before posting. I increased the brightness a fair bit, and the contrast a little.

I like the sort of perspective it shows. All the Presidio trees seemd quite tall.

I’ve taken more than one photo that looks a lot like this. But I like it.

Quite a lot of the trees were very covered in these leafy vines.

Just a little off of the trail and you can see the golf course just to the south of it.

This photo is from shortly after I left the road (Washington Boulevard) and went onto the trail. You can see it on this map; the exact location of the photo is roughly between the north part of the Presidio Golf Course and the Amatory Loop.
