    Dan walked with me to cut some purple grass the other day and found this lizard. He says it's a camo lizard. It has another name but I forgot what it is.

    Dan almost stepped on it. He was holding the camera and had it focused to take another picture so just changed the camera angle. When I tried to step forward to look at it, it took off like a flash. I didn't get to see the real thing. Doesn't it look like a snake? You have to look hard to see the little legs. Dooley

    I thought it was a snake too Dooley, really hard to spot those legs. Maybe it is a snake in disguise? Nice photo.

    Eileen, you can have a copy of the picture. Dan took it but once I post it it's okay for you to use it for yourself. He does sell some of them though. Dooley
