Met this fella as I was drivin' along

G'day all

This frill-necked lizard was sunning him/herself on the warm gravel of the dirt-road I was using. I stopped alongside expecting it to scurry away - but no, s/he stayed there. Took two pics before persuading it to move off the track before it became lunch for one of the many crows we see each day

Nice shot....

I like him! Lizards are fascinating to me - look how he blends into his background here.

Aww.. Sweet little guy!

Nice shot! Looks like it does not have a concern in the world.

Thanks all ... yes he blended into the roadway - bits of blue-stone gravel and other stuff, and my other worry was that he was in the wheel-rut too, meaning that the next vehicle coming along might not see him / it and 'oops- now food for those on the wing'
