Thanks Argy. No :-) I'm inspecting the poor thing brought in unsolicited and quite limp :-( I immediately released it to the coastal forest.
That's a nice shot. I like your new profile photo too - hope you're not choking the lizard. 8-)
Thanks DrP! I usually take my daily garden walk through at about 3:00 pm and occasionally capture some nice shadow play :-)
Nice shot! Love the shadow.
