Leaping Lizard ~

Was ready to water the garden when...
this water dragon surprised me by leaping on to the fence out of the greenery.

Must have been spooked & stayed like this in a corner of the garden for a long time.
We used to see these guys a lot but this is the first in a long time.

He looks kind of cute, but I would probably run a mile!

[Babs]

Isn't he gorgeous, I would love him in my garden.

[Beryl Lloyd]

Isn't he beautiful - great capture of all his markings and colour tones ! Amazing how they "freeze " when they are frightened or disturbed ! fav

[Shutterbug]

Beautiful shot. Captured all the details in its skin.
