Side-striped Chameleon (Chamaeleo bitaeniatus) – Kibale National Park, Uganda – Africa
Chameleons are one of my favorite photography subjects for many reasons. Firstly, their overall look is striking with the eyes moving independently and their color changing before your eyes. Secondly, they’re slow moving behavior means photographing them relatively easy compared to some terrestrial lizards that you can barely catch, let alone photograph. Finally, I discovered that you can feed them grasshoppers and they’ll grab them with their tongue right in front of you! It doesn’t get much better than that for wildlife subjects. Also, the variety in size, color and physiology among chameleons ensures a unique experience with each new species found.

Chameleons…..Chameleons makes me dream of the little village in the foothills of the Rwenzori Mountains.
