Basking in the sun
It's certainly too hot for me to be basking in the sun right now but these guys seem to be built for the heat. They've been out and about looking for some tasty insects to gobble up.
I've noted your temps because a friend of ours is in Phoenix at this moment. I thought it was hot here, but you get first prize. Cute little critters and great shots!
Great details in these two shots! I saw a similar little lizard earlier today- a street fair going on had a reptile farm on site, though I didn't have my camera. They had a little lizard and a fellow handling a python.
One of our lizards caught an insect of some kind yesterday while I was watching him through the window. For a critter that sits so still, he can move with the speed of light when he wants to.
The second one does look very smug, great shots!
ReplyDeleteNice photos. You did a nice job with the details.

ReplyDeleteHaha! That does look like rather a drole 'I should be charging..' kinda smile :)
ReplyDeleteNice coloring and textures on this critter.
ReplyDeleteHe's cute and he knows it!
ReplyDeleteWho wouldn't be happy in his shoes (so to speak!)
ReplyDeleteGreat shots of the wee guy, Sharon!
ReplyDeleteGreat images. Love these guys

ReplyDeleteYou can almost feel how scaly they must be!
ReplyDeleteExcellent close up.
ReplyDeleteThat first one is terrific, Sharon.
ReplyDeleteWhen looked at closely, it is so interesting that there are so many hues and colors on the body of these animals.

ReplyDeleteThank goodness we have these creatures to keep the bug population down.
The top shot is amazing. What a beautiful lizard!
