Thanks, and oops my mistake

Don't Geckos come with a car insurance sticker? Very nice shots.

Thanks......and, yes I was waiting for him to say in a very English accent 'it's pie....and chips for free', from my favorite Geico commercial

Thanks and thanks - I have to say I was really pleased how they came out. 5 months into DSLR world and practice is paying off

Looks good! I can never get close enough to these guys.

Thanks - I didn't find it that hard, this guy pretty much sat there and posed for me. All these were shot with my XS and EF-S 55-250, between 170 and 250mm. Just guessing here, but I think I was probably about 6 - 8 feet away from him.

I shot these mid-afternoon, but I have heard they are easier during early morning. Don't know why that would be, maybe they are still sleepy then

This one didn't actually move till I touched his tail to see if he would move - then he took off like a rocket! Of course I already had 20 or so shots by then!

Nice series of shots. I like the first one the best.

Very nice
