“How are the lizards doing?” I hear you saying. (Well, the voices that I’m hearing in my head are saying something – maybe that’s it, maybe it’s not.) “We haven’t seen them in a while.”
True. One thing I note this year is that it’s been a year or so since I’ve seen them hiding under the card in the driveway. For a couple of years there were often certain lizards who would hid in the shade under the car while still being on that hot concrete. But not this year.
One of the lizards I’ve seen regularly in the back yard this summer is this little dude who is very well camouflaged! Can you even see it in this picture?
There it is! It really blends in.
I spotted it because it ran across the dirt and then froze as I got near. The motion gave it away. If it had just stayed still I would probably have walked right by and not have seen it.
Then it started doing this open mouth pose. Panting because it was trapped in the sun while I was standing there? Or going into a threat mode to scare me off and show me how tough it is?
Could go either way!
