Carol Teal October 01, 2013

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! #10858587

Gord MacEachern October 01, 2013

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! #10859685
