They're amazing photos, Craig. I love how they puff up their throat and flatten themselves out. One of my favourite lizards. Well spotted :-)

Craig, I'm glad you like my tile. My niece loved it. How great that your taking ceramics too! I've been at it for 25 years and i won't throw lids or pull handles, so my hat's off to you!

Great picture! I love how the easter bearded dragon is looking at you; in the pictures I have seen reptiles seemed to be looking at other things... this is a very impressive animal. Would love seeing more pictures =) Greetings

Nice work Ava T-B :)
And best wishes to your niece.
I've been busy learning ceramics myself lately.
Mainly doing pots and vases. I made a jar with a lid last week. I hope it goes ok in its bisque firing :)

Craig -- I was inspired by this photo to make a ceramic tile. I've posted a picture of it on Flickr at http://www.flickr.com/photos/9571533@N06...
I hope you like it. I'm giving it to my niece who rescues and rehabs bearded dragons here in San Diego.

I've spotted this one again after it had finished shedding its skin and have a few more different bearded dragons in the area so I'll post some more photos up this weekend if I get some time :)
