The desert spiny lizard in the top photo was a paparazzi favorite at the garden last Wednesday. There was a crowd of 7 or 8 photographers pointing a variety of fancy lenses his way. This fellow was loving the attention. He was still posing there when I finally walked away.
At another location, these brilliant pomegranate blooms were looking especially attractive in full sun.
This prickly pear cactus was sporting an abundance of fruit. I snapped this photo using the telephoto on my camera.
Then I thought I'd try using that "portrait" mode on my iPhone that I learned about in the class I took a few weeks ago. They give two different perspectives but I like them both.
The desert in bloom.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a magical day in the garden! The spiny lizard clearly knew he was the star, and those pomegranate blooms must’ve looked stunning—portrait mode really does add a nice touch
ReplyDeleteHa, the posing lizard, that is great to see.
ReplyDeleteThe lizard was loving all the attention, Sharon.
ReplyDeleteThose prickly pear fruits look kind of like ice cream cones! I love prickly pear fruit -- I used to eat it in Morocco a lot but I haven't had it in years.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen pomegranate blossom before, quite lovely isn't it.
ReplyDeleteI love the desert plant and animal life.
ReplyDeleteA proud lizard getting his photo taken.
ReplyDeleteWonderful series of photos. The lizard 🦎 is enjoying being photographed and blends in so well with the rock he is standing on.
ReplyDeleteGood shots.
