Only in the tropics - a giant Goanna called a lace monitor comes knocking on our door.

Hubby heard someone knocking on the door so he went to have a look and this is what he found.....

  8. How wonderful! I wonder if he/she was doing what the birds do here..."attacking" the rival reflected in the window. You don't feed them, do you?

    1. Oh Jane, they mostly just shy away from humans I have no idea what made this one come so close - he went off in a hurry as soon as my hubby started to open the door. (to get a better photo lol!)

  11. He really looks like he is very interested in coming inside. Looking behind him/her I like what you did as a water absorbing site for the rain gutter down pipe. Aloha

    1. Stellamarina,
      he does doesnt he? That works well - I much prefer to have the water soak into the ground than flow down the road.

  12. "Who can it be knocking at my door? Who can it be now, who can it be now????"
    It really looks like he/she is checking their reflection in the glass door.....I keep my front door open during the day, so I would have freaked out to find that unwelcome visitor in my home...yikes!!!
