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.

A Western Fence Lizard on.. a fence!
The Western Fence Lizard (Sceloporus occidentalis) is the most common lizard in my area. They are also sometimes called the "Blue Belly Lizard" and you can see why.
The males perform "push-ups" when approached to appear bigger.
I went looking for Tiger Beetles again today, and although I found some they were really hard work.
However, I heard a rustling nearby and investigated, and found this handsome lizard, which is a first for me. To say I was chuffed was an understatement.
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/
The Maltese Wall Lizard (Scientific: Podarcis filfolensis; Maltese: Gremxula ta’ Malta) is restricted to the Maltese and Pelagian Islands. Here is a male with his beautiful colors basking in the late afternoon sun.
Sun is out, its Herping time...again....this time its a wonderful Changeable lizard, Calotes versicolor for those who know their latin. Also known as the "blood sucking lizard" as the males have a bright red throat during courtship. And yes, they change colour too....!
Had a day out with Chris, and the Dorset Reps. Dorset heathland.... Sorry girls,,, no females, i'll try harder next time.
A Texas Spiny Lizard (Sceloporus Olivaceus) basking in the sunlight while hiding in a cactus at the Captical of Texas Zoo, Bastrop, Texas, USA.
A tiddler of a lizard soaks up the sun at Chambers Farm Wood. It didn't appear too bothered by me thrusting a lens so close to it.
It appeared at the back of a log pile and scampered and jumped its way to the front - I'd have loved to photograph its leaps, but it was going way too fast for me!
Actually a 'gink' ... thanks to Wade Franklin for the ID.
I thought I'd just slip this one in here while no-one's looking. I loved seeing this little creature(that actually Grekei/Greg spotted first) but he/she hung around for no longer than the time it took to take a hastily focused snapshot with the aperture set a lot wider than I would have preferred for better dof.
