Taken a couple weekends ago in Sun City, AZ. Went fishing with my dad and husband. (they didn't catch anything, but I had fun.)

And here is another one. I liked the background on this one.

The funny thing about these little guys is that they actually hung out and watched me as I was setting up my tripod and trying to find just the right place. They almost seemed as interested in me as I was in them.
Taken with Nikon D50 :uhoh and Sigma 150/2.8 macro.

    Seriously, the first one a good shot.

    Lizards wouldn't be my preferred subject-matter, but that first shot is excellent! The color of the little devil and the surrounding landscape is beautiful!! thumb.gif

    Great shots - I love the isolation in the second one. Lizards seem to be perfectly willing to hang around and watch people shoot...

    My (small) company's office is actually a floor above an exotic pet supply company which breeds various types of lizards, chinchillas along with other fuzzy creatures, and pretty much every known tarantula species out there. Since I just got my Canon 100mm macro a few days ago I'm hoping I'll have some "free" time in the office to head downstairs and shoot some pics of 'em. :D

    Both neat shots! I like how apparent the lizards excellent camouflage is in the first photo. What a cool creature.

    I'm with you on that one. Lizzards freak me out, but there were so many of them there I had to do it. Now if they would have got closer to me, I would have had to take these from INSIDE the car. :D

    Thanks for taking time to comment. I think I will leave the spiders to you. Can't stand the little buggers. Be sure to share your results with us tho.

    Have fun!

    Thanks for noticing that. I was going to crop it a bit closer, but it lost alot in the process. I wanted to show the surroundings and just how well they can blend in.
