This beautiful black and white lizard was seen at a lodge in South Pantanal, Brazil. I assume it was fairly used to people walking around as it showed no sign of aggression or fear. They are reported to be affectionate and intelligent which makes them popular in the pet trade. Wikipedia also says that Tegus that have escaped or have been illegally released have adapted and are increasing in South Florida.

Lizard Lake. Near Marble, Colorado
I was on a long and arduous hike and came across this lovely mountain lake. It was so calm, I didn't need an ND filter to make the water glass.
Seen during the walk in the forest :)
The sand lizard (Lacerta agilis) is a lacertid lizard distributed across most of Europe and eastwards to Mongolia. It does not occur in the Iberian peninsula or European Turkey.
As juveniles they are usually brown with two light brown lines on the top of the flanks, on the flanks they have light spots bordered by a dark colour. Male adults are usually green on the flanks and a brownish back with smaller black markings and lighter scales inside of these black markings, the tail is brown and hind limbs also. Females are more brown, on the flanks they have various dark markings also with a lighter dot or two inside of this dark patch. Sand Lizards can reach up to 25 cm (10 in) in length. This species can be found in a wide range of habitat types including meadows, heathland, coastal dunes, grassland, steppe, subalpine and alpine meadows, shrubland, hedgerows, open woodland, in alpine areas, traditionally managed agricultural land and rural gardens. It appears after hibernation in March in the North, in March - April in the South and at mountains.

Jaszczurka zwinka spotkana w lesie :)
Jaszczurka zwinka (Lacerta agilis) – gatunek jaszczurki z rodziny jaszczurek właściwych. Występuje na większości kontynentu europejskiego poza jego południowymi krańcami. Na zachodzie granicą jej zasięgu jest środkowa Francja. Na północy spotkać ją można nawet w centrum Półwyspu Skandynawskiego. Jej wschodnie siedliska sięgają po środkową Rosję. Występuje również w Turcji i zachodniej Azji. Zwinka preferuje siedliska nizinne. Najczęściej można ją spotkać w niskiej trawie, wygrzewającą się w słońcu. Jest bardzo ciepłolubna. Maksymalna długość ciała w Polsce dochodzi do 25 cm. Samca można odróżnić od samicy po tym, że ma on zielonkawe podbrzusze, czasem nakrapiane drobnymi plamkami, zaś samica ma szary lub kremowy spód ciała. W okresie godowym, czyli w maju, samce przybierają intensywną zieloną barwę. Młode zwinki po wykluciu się, podobnie jak młode innych jaszczurek, są znacznie ciemniejsze niż osobniki dorosłe. Jej ogon jest nieco dłuższy od tułowia. W sytuacji zagrożenia zostaje odrzucony jako przynęta dla drapieżnika. Z czasem odrasta do pierwotnej długości.
The sea lizard (Amblyrhynchus cristatus), a species of iguana endemic to Gapagos. It is the only species that forages in the sea.
As cold-blooded animals, they can only spend a limited time in the cold sea. They dive for up to half an hour to a depth of 15 meters and graze on algae. After that, they have to warm up again in the sun.

Der Meeresleguan (Amblyrhynchus cristatus) ist eine auf den Galapagosinseln endemische Leguanart. Sie ist die einzige Art, die im Meer nach Nahrung sucht.
Als kaltblütige Tiere können sie sich nur begrenzt lange im kalten Meer aufhalten. Sie tauchen bis zu einer halben Stunde lang in eine Tiefe von 15 Metern und weiden dort Algen ab. Danach müssen sie sich wieder in der Sonne aufwärmen.
Common lizard or Garden lizard (Calotes versicolor) is a widespread lizard in Asia. They live in the undergrowth, feeding on arthropods and so on. They like come out into open spaces and bask in the sun.
Mature males turn red in the breeding season. Their front ends become suffused with a deep red, or rusty-coloured flush (below). It is sometimes called a ‘bloodsucker lizard’ on account of this red colour. Rather unfair I think, as it does not suck blood!

A telephoto shot of this fast moving Western Fence Lizare. They are small, diurnal lizards with large spiny scales. Western fence lizards (also known as swifts or bluebellies) are very common, found in a variety of habitats.
It was forecast to be too hot for bird photos today (38C); so long time friend and fellow flickr tog Joe Micallef and I decided to catch up and have a coffee instead.
Seems that we weren't the only ones keen on that plan......
This beautiful little lizard (Eastern Water Dragon) decided to join us!!
Image taken with my mobile phone - hope it looks OK!
Thanks for any comments, views or favorites - greatly appreciated!!
Have a wonderful day and weekend everyone!
This lizard stopped for a few minutes, so we could get a close up. The western fence lizard is a common lizard of Arizona, California, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Northern Mexico, and the surrounding area. These lizards are diurnal, and are commonly seen sunning on paths, rocks, and fence posts, and other high places, which makes them an easy target for predation by birds and even some mammals, such as shrews. We were glad to see that this one had escaped that plight and was happily bobbing in and out of the shrubbery.
