Skink by onewing

Skink

I'm not feeling too good today, got a flare up of diverticulitis and it is quite painful. Hopefully should be better in a couple of days when the antibiotics kick in.

As I seem to be taking photos of crabs, worms, birds etc at the moment I thought this photo of a skink would fit in quite well.

He was sitting sunning himself and didn't seem too bothered that I was taking photos of him.

This one is about 20 cm long.

Thanks to everyone who commented on my soldier crabs yesterday. I may not get to reply to anyone this evening. I am off to be early.
Great shot.. they usually move pretty quick..

So sorry that you are not feeling well with this flare-up -- I hope the Antibiotics will soon calm things down for you , take care and plenty of rest !!

@julzmaioro @taffy @beryl @bizziebeeme @happysnaps @quietpurplehaze @888rachel @mbmomentsintime @cruiser @gigiflower @pusspup @gilbertwood @photographycrazy @ladymagpie @seattlite @sdutoit @kwiksilver @365projectorgsebgritt @salza @kwind @snowy @hermann Thanks so much everyone. I am feeling slightly better today. After a very painful and restless night, my temperature has gone back to normal again and I am improving slowly.
Sorry to hear about your neighbour Heather, hope she is ok. I've not had a flare up as bad as this for a long time. Hopefully it will be ok by Tuesday as 42 of us are off on a cruise to New Zealand. All cross your fingers please. The amount of tablets I am taking you will hear me rattling on the ship.

@onewing lucky you. You must get well fast. I have been on two cruises to New Zealand and loved every minute of them. I think I could manage one every year (if I won the lottery!)

His colours are beautiful. Hope you are on the mend. Enjoy your cruise.

Nice capture of him...love his textures and relaxed pose. Nice reflective colors also. Hope you get better soon...bummer!!

Hope you're feeling better now, I saw skinks when we were in Oz. I'd forgotten all about them. Thanks for the memory!

Love the detail in this. I only ever see them scurrying away here, never a chance to capture (even when the cat has brought inside!).
