UPDATE: I believe this is a green anole. I forgot they had the ability to change colors.
I visited the Blue Elbow Swamp on my way home from Louisiana today, and found this guy hanging out on the boardwalk.
Is it a brown anole? It doesn't look exactly like the others in Google search results. I know at one time I had a field guide to reptiles, but I can't find it.
Who knew lizards had blue eyes?
The Macro Monday linky is up, so I'm using him as this week's entry.

Wow! That is a sky blue eye! Great pose!
Whatever it is, it's pretty cool.
his eyes are indeed blue. :)
Dropping by from Macro Monday…A Ladybug?
Handsome gentleman. He seems to know it! Since I know nothing about lizards I really can't help identify him but it is a beautiful pic. Cathy
very nice....cool facial markings....we used to have lizards all over when we lived in fl...
Oooh he's very cool looking!
Okay...you had me pulling out my little "Golden Guide to Reptiles and Amphibians". I'm guessing you're right with the Anole call. The only other possibility I can see is a Spiny Lizard and it looks too smooth for that. I like them better when they're green.
he is a nice little fellow, I live in the UK so we don't see any lizards like this just walking around so I can't help with you naming him but he is rather lovely!
It's cute!
Beautiful critter!
I believe this is a female anole. They have that cross stitch pattern on their backs.
