I have spent many weekends this summer criss-crossing the state looking for lizards in an attempt to complete my personal project. As summer winds down, in sets the reality that I am not going to make it this year. There are just too many left to find; I still have 11 species to go. Besides, I have a home remodel kicking off that will put an abrupt end to my weekend freedom.
At any rate, I felt I would share some of my recent work. With all the driving, hiking, and searching, I have not had the time to publish all my pics here, though most can be found on my Flickr site.
You cannot spend a lot of time in the desert without coming across some interesting non-lizard inhabitants. Some I photographed, some I did not (like many scorpions -- hate those things!) Strangely, I have not run into many snakes this year, and not a single rattler. Perhaps that is good luck, but I think it not since I would like to get some more photos of our legless friends.
Enjoy the photos, and see if you can name them all! Click on the image to go to the original in Flickr where you can get the details.
