is a sneaky creepy crawler with a long sword tail.
Have you heard the stories of dragons living in the caves and rocks
covered in their blue coat of mail?
Yes, I've often seen these dragons as they scurry to and fro
in search of lesser creatures to assail.
His shiny armor is the color of an azure blue sky
from his flat blunt snoot to his sharp claw feet.
I see him and he sees me, little tiny beady eyes
fixed upon my gaze as we both make a speedy retreat.
Oh, don't fret little Lady Bird for this dragon is only a wee one
all dressed in blue and they call him the lowely chameleon.

I have had the most fun this summer taking pictures of some of my favorite things. Of course at the top of the list is my kids and grands, but lately I have been caught up in chameleons. They are just so quick and hard to get a good shot of. The fun is in the chase. Chameleons may seem rather creepy to most people, but for some reason they seem so interesting and curious to me. I love how they change appearance in just a second. I really, truly could not see the one on front of Lady Bird's house until it moved. The color was almost exactly the same as the blue of the birdhouse.
I don't know if he was really scared or courting the camera. Look at that big belly he was sticking out. You're scared, right?
She was laying on the big leaf taking a sun bath.
She was a very neon green! Doesn't this just make you want to find a little creature to snap some pics of?
Happy hunting.

That's good, Nonnie. That's all, good job.
I really like the lizards. They had a lizard in the hole when they brought the big diggers next door. And he's still here! And the workers can hear him down there!
Love, Baker :)
Too cool! I really find lizards interesting. Have you worked on the big equipment very much. Love, Non:>
