During each visit to my granddaughters and my brother (different places) in Mississippi, a handful of miles from the Gulf Coast, I keep running into these quick little lizards. On one trip I got a decent shot of one at the Audubon Zoo. On this last trip, in March, I got a lot closer to one on my son's porch, this little lady. The missing red dewlap and a black spot between the eye and the earhole, indicative of a male, tells me this is a female. What really drew me to her, though, are the gorgeous blue-green scales around her eyes. At about five to six inches long, they are very fast, but don't mind hanging out with humans... as long as we make no sudden moves. This will be my entry in the panorama contest. 7

It is always amazing what nature can do. The blue transitions look like a color palete.

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
'Nik', I didn't know that lizards, like human females, used eye makeup to enhance their appearance, 😁 !
Excellent capture and a good entry for the current contest.
I wish you the Best of Luck with it!

If you think you can't accept something, try to change it. But if this doesn't work, don't be frustrated, but give it later another try. The one who perseveres wins!

No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.
Upon close inspection it does almost look like she is wearing some pretty sexy eyeshadow, but I guarantee you that this color is true to life, with no enhancement at all. Glad you all like it as much as I do.
