Podarcis muralis . A juvenile. It was about 4"/10cms long. Adults reach 12-18cms and it takes 2 years for a male and 3 for a female to reach maturity. They are not native to the UK.
There are many of these sunning themselves and hunting on the cliff on a sunny day.
It wasn't scared of Tizzy..amazing! I suppose if you are born next to a busy zigzag cliff path people are just part of the landscape.
It is thought that introduced colonies, particularly this one in Bournemouth, may have already had a detrimental effect on the native lizard populations.
This guy was nice enough to stop and pose for me while I visited Celebration Park and hiked around Snake River Canyon.
These lizards seemed to be everywhere around the hotel grounds and local park. However, they were quite difficult to photograph as they scurried away pretty quickly. I guess they were around 8 inches long or 20cm if you prefer metric. They also varied a lot in colour.
I entered a smaller version of my Lizard Wizard Cake (but with all of the creatures that are usually on my regular cake) and it won first place at the San Diego Cake Show. I couldn't believe who the judges were, Marina Sousa, James Roselle, Chris Russell, my idols on Food Network. I also found out that it was between my cake and another for Best in Show. So close...better luck next year.
I created this Goddess using a polymer clay "lizard tail" made in a Julie Picarello workshop. I blogged about it here: artandtea.wordpress.com/2011/06/08/a-lizard-tail-goddess/
Thursley Common near the Surrey/Hampshire border is my 'go-to' place to see lizards - this example was in partial shade so I had to press the shutter as the wind blew the leaves out of the sun's path.
This National Nature Reserve is also a good place for damsel and dragonflies. On the avian front, hobbies are regularly seen here in the summer, but I missed them this time. However, I did hear the haunting call of the curlew - good to hear they are present once again.

A lizard on a wall by the Donkey Steps into Loggos. It was actually vertical but I thought it looked better this way.
I went to the zoo today with a big group of friends. We had so much fun but it was so hut. Ugh. We're going to a Reds' game tonight. We all know how much I hate sports, but I love these people so it shouldn't be too bad.
I'm so happy to have a camera again. My friend Rachelle and I are plotting for two mass photoshoots together.
