Oriental Garden Lizard

This was a great chance encounter and I consider this a culmination of preparation and opportunity. I was on a phone call in my balcony when I saw two of these guys walk on the under-construction road near my house. I desperately hung up the call, got out my camera and ran down the stairs. I couldn't see them to start with but I knew they couldn't have gone far. My instincts told me they'd be in the bushes near my house. And yes, there was one of them - almost invisible to start with; very skittish, yet receptive to my photographic advances. Here are some shots I managed. Handheld, F5.6.
