The Sun-Bather

Collared lizard perched on a boulder out in the desert, as it suns itself. When we moved to Colorado, I really wanted to see and photograph them, since we were quite used to different kinds of lizards from Florida. Before long, we found some and usually see them every year.

 

I find them fascinating and am always looking for new info to learn about them. These have the ability to raise to their handlers and run fast across the landscape. I was privileged to observe this one day and it's impressive. Also unlike most lizards, they rarely lose a tail, but if they do, they don't have the ability like other lizards to simply re-grow a new one.

 

I hope that you enjoy this image ... and to my family and friends in FL, I'm thinking about you. Stay safe.
