No respect for personal space [View all]

My idiot spent the morning bush hogging and was taking a break when this happened.



A baby green anole jumped onto his work boot.

Got comfy.



Climbed up his pants and right into his hand.



Up his arm to his shoulder.



Up his face.



Into his sweaty hair







From there the friendly little thing jumped to the back of the bench and off to parts unknown.


Critters like my husband. Hummingbirds will even land on him.
