Fence Lizard

Howdy folks,

Photography is another one of my hobbies, though I don't spend near as much time with it as I do goofing off with Xara. My favorite subjects are animals, birds, and insects. Mostly insects. This picture is one of the few that is not a bug. LOL

Can't afford a good flash system so all my photos are done with available light. This one was taken with a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8, with a close-up diopter lens. The leaves in the tree line just behind the lizard made for a nice green background.

I have built a few frog ponds in my yard over the years. This a one of the resident bullfrogs.

Your macro work is astonishing - are these photos touched up afterwards? The clarity is excellent. Either you have some phenomenal camera equipment or a master of touchup or both. No matter how you get them - they're great.

I really like he fence lizard Mark. He looks mean. Reminds me of "Journey to the Center of the Earth" movie, the one with Pat Boone. Anyway if he was very big I'd sure hate to run into him.

Hi Larry, I remember that movie and I would hate to run in to him if he were that big too. Fortunately he is only 4" long including the tail.

Here's a close up of a box turtle. I like macro photography so
I try to get as close as I can even when the subjects aren't especially small.
He looks kind of annoyed huh?
