Late August Lizard

I was out in the back yard this afternoon with my camera, mid 90’s, sunny, and I knew there HAD to be a lizard hiding somewhere.

Sure enough, there it was.

There were a couple of teeny, tiny “popcorn” lizards also, and one good sized one who was missing its tail, but this was the big one for the afternoon.

Frozen in place while I took a handful of pictures, and then the second I turned away it was GONE! Good thing they’re friendly, it really moves fast when it wants to, off into the bushes. I see folks catching these guys, but I don’t see how.
