Gecko on a Leaf - Oahu - Hawaii

280mm · f/13 · 1/500 sec. · ISO 1250

We visted the Dole Plantation while on Oahu this year, mainly to get their infamous Dole Whip. While enjoying this treat and walking by touristy vendor carts, a couple of ladies noticed my not so inconspicuous camera, and asked if we had visited the gardens - that they were lovely with many interesting plants and flowers, and worth the time to meander through and photograph. Taking their advice, we took a stroll through the very interesting gardens with many different types of pineapples and flowers growing all around. But I spied another photo worthy subject - Geckos. This one rather surprised me as I was standing by a fenced area checking the pineapples growing on the other side, as I reached for the handrail, I saw him just the other side camouflaged in a large leaf!
