Lounge lizard

Posted by
Curly (South Shields, United Kingdom) on 17 November 2013 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

Sorry that I haven't been able to keep up with visits and comments recently, Mrs. Curly has had quite a few medical appointments and there are a few more to come, so this week will not be much different I'm afraid.

This lizard was snapped in the Grainger Market in Newcastle upon Tyne during an interesting display of bugs and creepy crawlies meant to educate school children. The adults around were far more interested of course :-)

Update

Thank you all so much for your support and inspiration during the course of this troublesome year, I've just noticed that someone has left the 70,000th comment on this photoblog. To be honest, without your encouragement I don't think I'd bother continuing a daily output.

This is a great picture. The northern hemisphere, the lizards are interesting, because it is sometimes difficult to describe. They are small and fast. Mrs. Curly forces.
