Something to Celebrate

The iguanas were too fast for me to catch - all seven of them, running from me!  Don’t interpret this as a power trip; it was much closer to a point of weakness.  Have you ever seen iguanas run?  No wonder we keep them in glass boxes with large branches obstructing any movement they might be capable of.  These things look hilarious!  Iguana owners wouldnt get anything done if pet shops encouraged back yards.

imageI did however catch a couple of my favorite foods down here to show you.  Food is more sedentary and so was my camera during the chase.  You see, food doesn’t look like it is trying to doggie-paddle its way above water while keeping a keen eye on its rudder of a tail.  The eye comes out of the side of its head, just above the crook of its mouth which poses a horribly-plastic, inborn look of concern.  It then stops.  Though it doesn’t sink, (once again there is no water, this iguana has scrawly claws not amphibious paws) it instead peers at you with huffy breaths: sculpted smile rising, sculpted smile falling and repeat.

imagePerhaps both of my foods could help Mr. Iguana and his fleet chill out a bit.  The pictures say it all but allow me to give them my own brevity in words here:

Food 1:  Monkey Hippy.
Food 2:  All Natural Water.  (yes, water is not food, my judgment to leave this technicality out until now was a decision based on the marginal costs of word additions to the previous sentences.  As they say in Ecuador: okie dokie.  Just look at the label.  It is once again fun to drink water!
