The Spiny Lizards are often found on our trees in the backyard - This one blends in perfectly with the bark!

Leena and I really enjoy having these lizards visit the backyard! I simply walked around the tree and captured the same lizard from the other side!

  Wonderful images Jeff! Love how the first one shows just how much he looks like his surroundings; he would be hard to see if he was flat against that tree! I bet in TX there are about as many lizards as there are here. I was surprised when I first moved here and saw how many scampered across the walkway when we walked up to the door!

  Great capture Jeff. They sure do make good use of their camouflage ability. I'd love to have those guys wandering in my yard.

  Love the textures and the lizard's camo colors, Jeff! Great use of light in both photos.
When I go out to water our sorry excuse for a backyard, I almost always manage to spray the water over one tiny lizard or another. They're less than 2 inches, tip-to-tip!

  Both are beautiful, but for me the camo one ranks a wee bit higher, Jeff.
