Friendly Lizard

 

These Desert Spiny Lizards are a very cooperative bunch.  When I encounter one, usually at the Desert Botanical Garden, they sit quietly while I take a few photos.  They almost appear to be posing. 

When I spotted this one, he was lounging on top of a stone bench.  He might have frightened someone taking a rest on that bench if they didn't see him when they sat down.

Not the most beautiful creature but they do like to pose for the camera.

He would frighten me for sure. Went out on what I call my morning porch and looked under the cushion to make sure there wasn’t a spider and a big lizard looked up at me like what do you want?. I went back in the house.
