Magus's Grimoire [Abridged]

I've started a new photoset at my flickr account titled Out my Window. I think I might start updating a lot more regularly.

My desk is set up in the second bedroom facing the window. I seem to get quite a variety of animals wandering by that are fun to watch. The cats enjoy it too, although Mhairi seems to be a little vague on the concept of "window"--she just tried to pounce on an anole and banged her head rather adorably.

There's an anole with a broken tail who seemed to have made my window ledge his territory, but today he'd moved over to the porch (his tail is starting to grow back), and I saw another male with a full tail in his usual spot. I'm not sure what's going on there. The new guy was doing his cool mating display thing, but I wasn't able to get the camera out in time to catch it, and he was scared off by the cat hurtling into the glass.

There was also a baby anole running around inside my window the other day, which I did get a chance to photograph. Actually, the photos I have so far are all of the baby (two of it inside, a bit spooked by the noises I was making and trying to run out through the windowpane, two of it outside looking in rather adorably).

My camera seems to have forgotten its date, perhaps because it has severe battery issues. Oh, well.

You also get a freebie of shield_toad111's gecko clinging to my monitor with his amazing gecko feet. Awful flash glare, a sense of what we talk about on IM, and Twitter trending topics included at no extra charge.
