My kids and I were in our van on the way to meet friends at our pool in our complex. Half way there I heard a thud, I look over to the far right of my van hood and I saw this creature (King Knight Anole Lizard, it was over 12 inches long). It must have come from the tree in my front yard which is next to my drive away. I am thinking it was on the top of my van and jumped down to my hood. So I drove really slow to the pool. I had planned on scooting it off my hoot and off to safety but it decided to jump off the hood of my van and into the street. I thought for sure it would scurry along but when we circled back someone had ran him over. My kids were upset, so was I. Anyway, we thought it was funny that it wound up on the hood of my van, scared us all because it came out of nowhere.

Awesome photo and creature. Eeeek, comes to mind. My Mom loved frogs and toads. Not know why. LOL
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing shots. Love the vibrant green colour but saddened to learn someone had run him over. Poor guy.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, what a super pretty lizard! How sad that it got run over though! =(
ReplyDeletePoor lizard!! I've never seen one like that except in a zoo.
ReplyDeleteI think car wash missed a green spot on your windshield.
ReplyDeleteLovely shots, Aww bless him ...
ReplyDeletePoor guy! What a cool lizard.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos!
ReplyDeleteI love it, those are some fabulous photos. I bet this is a summer memory that your kids will not forget.
ReplyDeleteHe's a beautiful creature. That is so sad that he got ran over!
ReplyDeleteI love them, but that would have totally freaked me out if it were to jump on my car, while I was driving.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots!!
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised he survived the jump onto your hood.

He looks HUGE on your window.
ReplyDeleteoh my, I would have had a heart attack...lol
ReplyDeleteThe fellow would scare me to death jumping down on the car like that. Luckily for me, our lizards leave the trees alone and stay on the ground.
ReplyDeleteSuch a serious looking lizard!! Oh, Congratulations and blessings on the birth of your new daughter!!
ReplyDeleteWhao..it must be really scary seeing the lizard on your screen.. I would have certainly freaked out.
ReplyDeleteWow, I would have freaked out if that had jumped on the windshield while I was driving. It is cute though. So sad to read it got run over. :(
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome!!! ;)
ReplyDeleteWow! I would have jumped a mile, but he's so cute. So sorry to hear of his untimely demise

OMG! That just reminded of a few weeks ago when I was running to the local grocery store (which is maybe 2 miles away) and when I was about there I noticed this baby just staring at me right next to my side view mirror. So I gently went into the parking lot and DON'T LAUGH said "stay right there, I'll be right back, please don't jump off!" I didn't even shut my door. I ran in and I only had to pick up like green onions or something I needed for a recipe. I told everyone about it (I live in a small town) and ran out and he was gone. I looked everywhere on that car and felt so guilty that I didn't carry that tiny thing in my hand into the store. I just hope he made it, he was safe in my yard.
ReplyDeleteHe's huge and I probably wouldn't have been happy with him on my van hood but you got some really cool pictures. Sad :( that he got ran over though.
ReplyDeleteHe looks mad at you. Obviously he thinks you are the one in his way.
ReplyDeleteSad he has such an untimely death. Lived long enough to get his photo taken. :)
ReplyDeleteOoooh that's freaky! Reptiles scare me.
ReplyDeleteWhoa! That's quite surprising.
ReplyDeleteI have a lizard in my post too! Not nearly as good a shot, its kind of small. Too funny!
ReplyDeleteLovely lizard but a sad way to end.
ReplyDeleteHoly cow!! Did you see the movie Magnolia?
ReplyDeleteIt would make me jump off my seat! ;o)
ReplyDeleteHappy Wordless Wednesday from the Philippines!
I would have flipped out! He is BIG!
ReplyDeleteOH my, I know I would have screamed...lol
ReplyDeleteGreat pics of your unexpected visitor!
ReplyDeleteWhat a crazy story! I would have freaked out!
ReplyDeleteOMG thats crazy! i love the photos though and the lizard looks so pretty
ReplyDeleteI think I would totally freak out if that thing dropped on my van! I'm so not good with reptiles. Lol
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! I would have freaked out!
ReplyDeleteomg that is hysterical. It's like he's saying "hello there, what are you doing in my car" My son would love this thing

Wow! I think it would have freaked me out initially but that little guy is pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteOMGosh that looks huge! How crazy, I would probably freak out if I saw that on my car!
ReplyDeleteHoly moly! Bet that woke you up, right? I think he's kind of pretty.
ReplyDeleteThat's cool! It would totally freak me out if that was my car!
ReplyDeleteAwwww.... A funny story... but sad too.
ReplyDeleteThe first time I drove into NYC and over the Brooklyn Bridge a frog fell from somewhere on the top of the bridge and scared the bajeebies out of me!
