The difference in colours depends on where these lizards are. In this one the small Western Bearded (or Dwarf) Dragon, Pogono minor minor, is sunning itself on the top of a small bush in the scrub and taking on the darker colours of its surroundings. This makes the markings on its body much more pronounced than another I saw in the same area on a log.

The shingleback skink, Tiliqua rugosa asper, isn't the only reptile here in the Mulligans Flat Nature Reserve. But they're my favourite.
This lazy sunbaking penguin was happy to have its photo taken as it basked in the mid-morning sun on Haast Beach, on the west coast of New Zealand's South Island.
Looks best on black, large, so press "L" to see what I mean.
Comments, as always, appreciated, butplease no flashy award codes!

Located in the centre of town, Horseshoe Bay is the most popular beach with locals and visitors alike. Featuring grassy headlands to picnic on, a sandy beach to sunbake, a sheltered cove to swim in and a 180 degree view from the mountains to Trial Bay. Horseshoe Bay is home to an excellent right hand wave that’s the locals' choice when we have east coast lows.

Sunbaking in the warm morning light, even with their whole body and maybe half the brain sleeping, their eyes were constantly surveying the surrounding. Always watching.....
This wild duck was a male Mallard, easily identifiable by its gleaming green head, white neck ring, and brown chest.
Just acquired this Mamiya 645 210mm f/4 N medium format lens for my M645 1000S body. Coupled it with a Fotodiox Pro adapter to my Nikon D7000 to try out some digital captures, it is a pretty good tele. The quailty of the Mamiya lens is just super. A bit heavy due to its professional-grade all-metal contruction. Manual focus only. D7000 supports stop down metering, and that works really well.
...making the most of the sunshine, high up in a stringybark, after a few cool, overcast days... sunbaking, scratching, stretching... unusual to see a cuckoo around here at this time of year. It was my understanding that they head north for the cooler months, then flood back down in the early Spring... anyway, it was nice to see one going about its business
