My sister’s dog, named after the island where she found her, and where she currently lives: Samos. Maybe a bit too short on the DOF but i kind of like the way it drags the focus to the eyes.

This huge Iguana was always hanging around the pool on my vacation to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. I’m guessing the total size of the beast was almost 2 meters from head to tail!
