dude knows his colors

~ the Mixed-Up Chameleon by Eric Carle ~
(beloved by all - including me!)

Now seriously, I've always been fascinated by chameleons. Are they just about the funkiest little prehistoric-looking guys ever or WHAT. They move so slooowly... they have the coolest little grippers for hands... and those eyes - spinning all over the place in every direction. WILD! Not to mention what they're most famous for... changing color according to their surroundings and mood.

WELL! My friend Joanne posted this YouTube video on FB and it just BLEW. MY. MIND. 
This is one talented little dude! He's just changing his colors as if he were a bag of Skittles!
And he's so chill. I love this guy! He makes me happy happy happy :)
ENJOY! (and thank you Joanne!)   



And because I adore Eric Carle... here's his official website, which is *wonderful*

This animal is spooky. I watched the video, so cool. Is it real? Do they really change those colors. The picture at the top of your blog??? does it snow in California? I heard it never rains in southern California. Love your blog. Andrea

Hi Andrea and WELCOME! So happy you found me :) The chameleon is definitely real... I'm not sure if those colors are more vivid than normal or if he had some help :/ I'd like to believe he's just an amazing little dude, hehe :)

The picture at the top of my blog is from Sandpoint, Idaho - one of my all time favorite places on earth! Way up at the top of Idaho's panhandle, an hour south of Canada.

It definitely rains in southern California, but it's only pseudo rain. We don't get real weather here and that bugs me big time, hehe :)

Love,
Megan
