my fine scaled friend

This morning I found a lizard treading water inside the bucket I put under my air conditioner to catch condensation.

I pulled him out and put him on the ground figuring he'd scram but he ran up on my shoe instead and wouldn't leave no matter how much I tried to direct him to an obvious escape route.

So I put my hand down and he crawled on board and stayed there long enough for me to go in the house, find my camera, find some batteries, find the memory card and go back outside to take these pictures.







Thanks for visiting, Mr. Lizard, and have a good life!
