Janet Brien's photos with the keyword: fence lizard

I went over to check out the group of almost-dead milkweed plants today which are growing at the edge of our yearly burn pile, and I saw some motion on the ash and charcoal. I found myself staring at a baby Fence Lizard, otherwise known as a "Blue-belly Lizard"! It had a 1" long body with another inch for its little tail. Can you say cute?!! SO ADORABLE!!!! I managed to get some pictures, including this one! The light direction was harsh and contrast wasn't the best but thanks to using RAW format, I was able to correct many of the problems in the image! :)
