Taken December 5, 2007, this little fellow, about the length of my hand from fingertip to palm (not including tail), was just hanging out on a branch in the El Yunque National Forest in Puerto Rico after a deluge. Hiking through the rain forest drenched to the core from the repeated downpours can be a poor place for cameras but if, by chance, the sun comes out as it did in this case, you will be happy you brought it. The most striking thing about this picture, to me, is the deep blue of his eye. I don't know why I had never considered that they could have blue eyes but my ignorance faded from shock to delight upon closer inspection of the picture. Sadly, the eye might not be very easily seen because of the resolution of the upload. My apologies if that is the case. (Sony DSLR-A100, f/5.6, 1/100, ISO 400, UV Filter)
Edit: By request, here is a zoom in:
