kja Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) Came back from our morning beach walk and was going to do the dishes. No way when this scary guy is sitting on the faucet!! Of course, I had to throw on the 100mm macro and take his photo... Later, I looked out on the patio and this ta ta was lounging so I whapped on the 100-400 Edited April 17, 2012 by kja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 that green bug looks like it's pursing its lips, puckering up for a kiss :laugh: and is that lizard really called a ta ta? I've never heard of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marion 01 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 C'mon guys you are both younger than me, too young for senior moments. Misplaced knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marion 01 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Speaking of katydids, I was doing my good deed for the day, the other morning, and caught a katydid which had come inside the night before and threw him outside, only to have a magpie come and eat him. Did I do two good deeds for the day or what ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kja Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 (edited) I can't believe that I now have MORE ta ta lizards than ever before - including cutest group of three teensy ones. The little ones have been impossible to take photos of - well, at least that show how teensy and cute their faces are - but I'm going to keep trying. In the meantime, here's another lounge lizard and one on the ramp Edited April 17, 2012 by kja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
