Lizard-breath



"Lizard-breath" -- the held-breath moment when one sees a small lizard basking, and wants not to disturb its in-between-rains sunbath.

  5. Lovely lizard. But I did start wondering what lizard breath might smell like..! We have little blue bellied skinks (the skink part is right but I am not sure of their actual name). Tiny, electric blue flashes.
    Your photos are such a delight, thank you.
