How sad and what a BEAUTIFUL IMAGE. Maybe he will brush up against something he walks over and it will pull out.

Like a dagger to his heart. :( That's too bad...

Great job and find, Sherry!

Thank you Nikki and Judges! This is the true color of the dirt in this canyon. And these lizards, especially, the males are a beautiful turquoise color. They are a blast to photograph.....they seem to like the attention. #8755616
