Meanwhile in Florida, it's raining.... #iguanas
I hear the stories & see some on TV, but haven't witnessed this in SW FL.
But I happened across this story tonight on DW News (Germany!) - very well-done and... provocative.

Alarma por "lluvia de iguanas": el inesperado impacto del frΓo en el sur de Florida
You wanna? Iguana.
They do the best poses. Saint Martin. Canon 80D, not sure on lenses, but might all be Sigma 150-600C, otherwise it would be a Sigma 18-300C. #wildlife #photography #reptiles #iguanas
