“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
― Frank Herbert, Dune
"...See the floor rising through a dream
Forgotten thoughts lost in a memorable theme
And soaked to the skin
You, calling out a name
You, swimming unleashed through a dream
Life is a fear of falling
Life is a fear of falling through
All the cracks"

ABOUT THIS PHOTO:
Partly out of fear to bore the Flickr community with too many lizard photos, I thought it would make for a nice change - yet in keeping with the main theme of my gallery - to give interested nature and reptile fans the opportunity to get a sense of the lacerta bilineata habitat where I photographed all the animals on this page.
So this is the second of a (as yet planned) series of pictures (if people like them there will be more) that will show you where all the reptile "action" took place: my garden in the beautiful community of Monteggio in the Malcantone region of the Ticino, Switzerland.
The pictures were taken over a period of over a decade, so there were obviously some changes in the garden during that time, but If you focus on the palm tree - which has grown considerably over the years but is visible in all the photos I plan to upload - you get a sense of the geography of the place.
In summer, which is when this photo was taken, the micro-climate in this particular area of the Ticino can be almost tropical in the sense that it's hot and very humid with frequent thunderstorms and heavy rain, and I often refer to my garden (half-)jokingly as my "little Swiss rainforest". I guess you can see how animals - particularly lacerta bilineata and other lizards - would feel at home in this "tropical paradise" of mine :-)
Apparently - as I learned in the comments here on Flickr - the occurrence of this particular lizard species is a very good indicator that an ecosystem is intact, and my family and I always took great care not to interfere too much in our garden and let nature roam as free as possible.
In return, over the years we were rewarded for this "calculated inaction" with a wide variety of species of plants, insects, lizards and snakes visiting - or by now residing permanently in - our little nature refuge, some of which I managed to capture on camera.
As mentioned before, if people like these photos or are interested in other flora and fauna from my private jungle, I'll upload one every once in a while between lizards, so let me know in the comments if you're interested in seeing more of these or if I should stick to just reptiles ;-)
As always, thank you so much for your interest and feedback, stay safe - and have a great week everyone!

Like a feeling that I'm down
Deep inside my heart
Like I'm looking out through splitting blood red
Windows in my heart
From a higher up than heaven
And a harder down than stone
Shake the fear that always clawing
Pulls me clawing down alone
As I spitting, splitting, blood red
Breaking windows in my heart
And the past is taunting fear of ghosts
Is forcing me apart
And the further I get
From the things that I care about
The less I care about
How much further away I get
And the further I get
From the things that I care about
The less I care about
How much further away I get
I am lost again
With everything gone
And more alone
Than I have ever been
I expect you to understand, to feel it too
But I know that even if you will
You cannot ever help me
Nor can I ever help you
Nor can I ever help you
Never ever help you
“Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second's encounter with God and with eternity.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
“Never say that you can't do something, or that something seems impossible, or that something can't be done, no matter how discouraging or harrowing it may be; human beings are limited only by what we allow ourselves to be limited by: our own minds. We are each the masters of our own reality; when we become self-aware to this: absolutely anything in the world is possible.
Master yourself, and become king of the world around you. Let no odds, chastisement, exile, doubt, fear, or ANY mental virii prevent you from accomplishing your dreams. Never be a victim of life; be it's conqueror.”
― Mike Norton

I am afraid, oh I am so afraid!
The cold black fear is clutching me to-night
As long ago when they would take the light
And leave the little child who would have prayed,
Frozen and sleepless at the thought of death.
My heart that beats too fast will rest too soon;
I shall not know if it be night or noon, --
Yet shall I struggle in the dark for breath?
Will no one fight the Terror for my sake,
The heavy darkness that no dawn will break?
How can they leave me in that dark alone,
Who loved the joy of light and warmth so much,
And thrilled so with the sense of sound and touch, --
How can they shut me underneath a stone?
Okay, truth be known, the title is misleading; there were lots of fears as I walked gingerly onto this very windy and icy pier! But who said getting wintery shots was easy?
Good Morning! It is -5 today and it feels mighty cold but the sun is shining and the sky is blue so I'm a happy girl! (I'm 'knot' fearing this weather!!) :-)
Wishing everyone a great weekend ahead!
“But our trip was different. It was a classic affirmation of everything right and true and decent in the national character. It was a gross, physical salute to the fantastic possibilities of life in this country-but only for those with true grit. And we were chock full of that.”
Inspired by the AMAZE film Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas.

We’ve nothing to fear but fear itself
Fear itself Fear itself
I’m afraid of fearful people And violence from fearful people
I’m afraid of politicians, and ammunition, and all religion
I’m afraid of nationalism, patriotism, jingoism
I’m afraid of all alone
All alone
All alone
"In front of you are the lights of a state
Awaiting excavations
And the cages with the sleeping canaries lined up
And I who still haven't found out who I am
A tired purpose, without perspective
And you who will soon be extinguished
One of the lights, to sleep with someone who looks like me
So that the irons of the cage
To be lost for a moment, in the dark.
I fear all that will happen to me without me...
My clothes are getting old and they don't last
holes in the knees from the bows
pockets empty of coins
broken zippers, they are bankrupt
My body is bruised
with the cold as a mistake
which no one admits
it turns and asks for your warmth.
I fear all that will happen to me without me...
Your cements are new
with lacquered furniture
And white marbles
a warping sheen
and leaves you no room to stand
and only I of all in there am rotting like in an ancient tomb
Performance vessels were found there
except for me, which is a hidden secret
I'm still looking for you to resurrect me.
I fear all that will happen to me without me...
My clothes are getting old and falling out
Like bankrupt governments
I grew old in a child's pants
And the ship still hasn't been seen
I squeeze you tighter because I'm cold
my body road, where public works are carried out
Compressors open and close me
Pull the curtain a little to see me
I became a runway for military planes
And my mind, a repository for radioactive waste
They took safety measures, for my breathing
and on a multi-ethnic one-way street, my future was given in return.
I fear all that will happen to me without me...
This is how I live my past in advance
and with two bare wires for hands
I hug your high volt for a tight time.
I'm afraid..."
An earlier attempt to visualize a favorite song.
Everybody I know has a fear. Some fear not making enough or not getting enough time. To spend with family or friends. Some fear not getting to do everything they want in life. But the important thing is to take it one day a time. Look at a sunrise. And realize that there is a guide above who makes sure everything is going to be alright.

AT THE POOL
Happiness was a day at a pool
in the grass ringed round
with trees up to the sky
here I was god’s and my
grandpa’s lad – both died,
happiness is dangerous
in the evening the pool has lain down
so mirror-smooth that sky, trees and grass
repeat themselves below the ground
fear and longing both ask me
to come back

I Won't Give Up by Jason Mraz
step out each morning spirit brave
say hello world; smile and wave
no matter what the day should bring
don't let your fears take hold
face the day with courage strong
always try to right a wrong
listen to the birds who sing
give smiles of warmth not cold
look your fears straight in the eye
kiss your worries and woes goodbye
look to the sky, the sea, the sun
the clouds and fields of burnished gold
see each day like a new book
a different, chapter, a different look
a page of velvet vellum softly
cushioning with kindness all that's told
the wind that blows a thousand times
still brings with it the chimes
of bells and angels whispering wings
that comfort you in their heavenly folds
