Another day with minimal word count. The work deadlines have been met and today was quiet, but there are a lot of personal things that have been pushed off onto back burners for weeks that had to get addressed for my peace of mind.
So we’re 33% done with the month, but I’m only 15% done with the writing. I guess that I’ll have to make it up in volume!
Meanwhile, in a sunny spot on a cool and windy day, a new member of the yard guard has appeared. “Popcorn” sized, but stockier than all of the other baby lizards we’ve seen. Also utterly fearless. I was bringing in the trash cans and normally all of that rattling will spook them into cover from 30 feet away. Not this dude! I practically ran over him and he never budged. I went and got the camera, came back out, got down within about three feet of him, close enough so that I couldn’t focus the telephoto lens and had to lean back a few inches. He still never did more than a couple of twitches to verify that he wasn’t dead or frozen.
I hope he lives and gets to be a big lizard!
