camouflage



This little guy is about 4 cms/1.5 inches "big". He was scared to see me in my own garden. They always move very quickly and it wasn't easy to have his picture taken.To my surprise: he even jumped! I didn't know they could do this, I think he has been watching the squirrels... He was a lovely break while working in the garden, which mainly meant watching Mr Mar cutting and stacking up logs  (from the fallen pine trees in late January) for our fireplace.

  2. Great capture. Some of his relatives live here in my garden and I know how quickly they can dart about!

  9. Ohhhh I am jealous! That is such a great shot! We don't have one's that look like that - we have the smooth silvery ones with the blue streak... but I NEVER have my camera in my hand when I see one! THAT was a gift Mar!

  12. Good that he was in your yard and not mine. I'd have missed seeing him for sure! And probably with disastrous consequences -- for him anyway. Especially if he's that small!

  13. twitchy little buggers, huh? We don't have them here...they sell them as pets at the pet store. LOL! My DD is facinated, but I told her they run all over at her Nana's house. So the last time we were there she kept trying to catch one. She quickly learned why they don't make for good pets.
    great shot, love his coloring.

  20. We have lizards in the garden here in France, but it seems only in the summer. I haven't seen any yet this year, but I haven't been looking too hard. Do they hibernate, I wonder? I really don't know so I must make an effort to find out.
