Description
One day while photographing this beautiful red angel wing begonia under the shade of a lime tree, a green dragon (American chameleon) came down to see who was entering his realm.
The green dragon is known to be highly territorial, and will often view any intrusion into their domain, voluntary or not, as a personal affront. They are extremely cunning and duplicitous foes, and love double-crossing others. A traveler who stumbles into a green dragon's territory may be able to bribe the dragon for safe passage, but more often than not the dragon will pretend to agree and then attack the unsuspecting offender once their guard is down.
Knowing this, I left the area as soon as his image was secure.
