Bright Light, Bad Eyes

As I was loading the wheelbarrow with mulch this morning I saw a small lizard climbing over the edge. Closer inspection revealed ..............a piece of mulch! After much debate with myself (did I really want to confess to not seeing this well?) I went for the camera.

Definitely a lizard - one of those flat rusty varieties!

[Hope D Jennings]

Oh yes....I love those shy and elusive fantasy critters.I have been seeing more and more of them lately.Made hubby stop the car for and eagle that turned out to be a stump.lol.Fav for the lizard!

[Jason Daniels]

Look at him trying to scramble over the edge!

[Vee]

Lol! Love it! That happens to me all the time and my vision is fine!

[Marilyn Wigen]

A true photographer! So glad you shared this... I think you will be surprised (or maybe not) with how many similar stories you get. I am frequently startled by a spider coming down his web beside me or running across the floor, that turns out to be one of my many eye floaters!

I think it bears a strong resemblance to the Satanic Leaf Tailed Gecko (Uroplatus phantasticus) and quite understand the mis-identification, only with the help of Ross's super large images would one tell the difference!

[Françoise]

If we still had thumbnails on the home page, I'm pretty sure I'd have ID'd this as a lizard!! Fantastic shot.

[Kay Hodges]

[katy]

@kbird61 Thanks Kay ......so.... you like pseudo lizards?!

[Jason Daniels]

@grammyn - I think he is very local... some would say endemic to your wheelbarrow!

[Rick Schies]

Great textures and decay

[katy]

@bobfoto LOL!! You are probably right!! (;

[katy]

[Claire]

Oh I see a lizard; but then I see dolphins in the sea (large rocks) and all kinds of amazing creatures that are really not there:0)

[Gillian]

Oh yes! Definitely a lizard! The sort I see so often!

[katy]
