I had an unusual guest a few days ago. This bright and beautiful chameleon peeped through my kitchen window. It had a cold stare…looked very stern. It watched me for a couple of minutes, looked exasperated as I was clicking, turned and went away.
Managed to get the details, anyway.
A Chameleon isn’t something I would normally encounter in Weston-super-Mare, unless it was in a glass case. Here, you have it unfettered and free to come and go. 🙂

Wow!! Maniparna – I am so envious. We do not have Chameleon here in Australia. I see in a reply from one of your friends that they turn a white colour – True?? What amazing and beautiful animals, a privilege to see one I imagine. I love your simple story to accompany the pic also. Thanks for sharing 🙂

Yes, actually chameleons change their colours according to the environment. This acts as a camouflage…saving them from the enemies. As you can see, it looks green as it was coming from the bushes below and was on its way to changing up there… … 😀

Actually, I think, it came from the bushes below, (you can see in the picture)…it had started changing the colour slowly but then it jumped away.

This is one of the creations of nature so it was wonderful to examine his beauty and details, Maniparna. Lovely haiku. I also very much admired the Drops of hope and love with peace as a goal for us on your next post. I usually read them twice but have an activity I need to go to. Take care, dear! ❤

You remind me that I haven’t seen a chameleon in ages. In fact I probably last saw one as a child in my home city. A reminder that my children haven’t seen chameleons – imagine! You were were lucky to have one come up so close.😀
