SUBMISSION: Hanging in there by Colleen Provost

This photo is of a green anole, the only anole native to Florida. The green anole has lost its primary habitat to the exotic brown anole brought to Florida from Cuba. Being able to spot a green anole enjoying itself in Florida is a real treat. The Photo is dye infused onto a specialty coated aluminum and sealed with a gemlike UV coating.

A Day on the Water Photography is an expression of how I live my life in the belief that nature is a gift. Focusing a light on what is often unseen and making it tangible for others inspires me. I hope to capture this beauty given to us in a lens and share it with those unable to enter into this magical world. In doing so, maybe it will help others to realize that “In the end we will conserve only what we love; we will love only what we understand; and we will understand only what we have been taught.” (Baba Dioum, 1968)
