"wildlife in the islands"

here's some photos of the "wildlife" that we have seen around my house here in Cayman
Cayman Parrots--you always see these in pairs (yes, they mate for life) they are green parrots and are really pretty when you can see them flying and see the pretty colors on their backs

conch--this is what is inside that really pretty shell--some slimy icky looking thing (and yes, people eat them here)

this is that same conch that "strolled" up on our shoreline

this grasshopper was really LONG!

close-up of a pretty blue lizard--we couldn't believe we could get so close to it

body shot of the blue lizard

"typical lizard" that runs around here--usually brown and always with the curly tail

body shot of a green lizard

very cool looking guy

saw this guy on the driveway--sort of missing a claw

hermit crab-her name is Lupe--she's an escape artist
