teensy tiny little liz - a photo on Flickriver

            This year in the backyard I've seen a few of the smallest lizards I've ever seen. Typically those I see are about 13-15 cm. This one, like those I've seen in the backyard, was under 7 cm. I first saw him here as I was stepping out of my front door to go get the mail. He was less than two feet from my two feet. I stopped, told him he looked fabulous in that low cross-light, to wait there, that I was gonna get my camera. I was back in 10 seconds. He'd not moved. I snapped a few from this position as he gave me this wonderful ferocious evil-eye pose with his head cocked. Then I moved around more to the front for a traditional 3/4 angle with nice DOF. He did not budge, except to watch me, even when I moved in closer. I got my shots, thanked him for posing, put my camera in the house, and returned to the porch. He was still there. I walked to the mailbox and when I returned he was gone, off to his next modeling assignment, no doubt.
