Is It Spring

Sorry I have been out of action for the last few days. I haven't been feeling too good since I had food poisoning. I have done nothing but sleep and to quote one of my Mum's sayings 'I felt like a piece of chewed string'

I don't think I have missed much though weatherwise as it has rained for days. Today though the sun is shining, and I spotted our resident blue tongue lizard leaving his den in the garden and then sunning himself on our retaining wall. He has been hibernating during winter and is now enjoying the nice weather.

Hopefully I will catch up with your photos later this afternoon.

[Shutterbug]

It’s a beautiful lizard.

[Diana]

Oh he's gorgeous! Hope you are feeling better now and all is well.

[Babs]

@rickster549 He is gorgeous, and he is about 50 cm long. He keeps the snail population down in the garden so is quite an asset.

[Kathy A]

I hope you are starting to feel better now

[KoalaGardens🐨]

oh I thought it was going to one from @Happysnaps at first! really lovely, sorry you have been unwell

[Issi Bannerman]

I've never heard that expression, but I hope you're feeling a bit less 'chewed' now. Lovely captures of this chap.

[Beryl Lloyd]

Great captures as he lazes in the sun ! Hope you are feeling better - nothing worse than feeling like a chewed old rope !

[Wylie]

Hi bluey, looking good. I hope you feel better soon Babs.

[Carole Sandford]

Great captures of your very interesting garden dweller! Glad you are feeling better!

[Susan Wakely]

Lovely. Being tempted out by the sun. Hopefully you are now recovered.

[Maggiemae]

You will be exhausted after all this! Good thing you had some great photos of these chaps!

[Valerie Chesney]

Blue tongues are so delightful... yours is surely enjoying the sunshine..

[Renee Salamon]

Wow, he’s a beaut - not sure I’d want him in my back garden though - hope you feel better soon

[Babs]

@rensala He is quite safe and he keeps the snail population down.

[Pam]

Such a cool looking lizard. Great collage. I hope you feel back to normal soon.

[Merrelyn]

How wonderful to have a resident blue tongue. I hope you're feeling better soon Babs.

[Renee Salamon]

@onewing now that’s a very good thing to know

[LManning (Laura)]

What a fine fellow! Great diptych.

[Peter Dulis]

Nice

[Pat Knowles]

Food poisoning will have knocked you for six Babs….hope you’re able to take it easy & get your strength back. Your lizard knows the best time to get up! How nice he lives with you!

[haskar]

He looked scary in the captures. Fortunately, snails are enough for him.

[Peter]

Interesting subjects beautifully captured Babs:)

[Danette Thompson]

I certainly hope you feel better.

[Kate]

Glad that you’re getting better

[Leslie]

resident lizard, well isn't that amazing ... glad you're feeling better

[KWind]

Great shots!

[Kathy]

I like the two shots because the lizard looks so different in the different lighting.

I am feeling much better now but still get tired quickly. Food tastes okay now but tea still doesn't taste right. I would really like a nice cup of tea that tastes right.

[Annie D]

beautiful bluey - glad you're feeling better

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I'm glad he helps keep your garden in balance- but better your garden than mine! LOL I am not a reptile/amphibian person!
