Surveying the Empire

[RVT1K]

This one - a black iguana - has found a home in the gaps between some of the big rocks making the border of a garden.
Here it is warming up in the sun and surveying its vast Empire a.k.a. the front yard.

Nice shot! What are the red flowers in the backgorund? I like the bokeh.

They are not flowers but the leaves of some variety of Croton that I planted in the front yard. It is doing well but seems to grow quite slowly.

I just happened to look outside and saw the lizard was in a spot that would capture that background. I knew it would make a good shot and ran for the camera.
