An Eastern Skink.

This is a half grown Skink I saw in my back yard. He is about 8" long. I only saw him by chance & my camera only had a 300mm on it at the time. I couldn't really get close enough to him for a good photo as these little guys are very skittish. They are fairly common in most areas. Downloading will show him a little better.

Nice!
I wish I had a few of these running around in my back yard. All I ever get to see are squirrels, mice and birds.

My backyard has a few inches of snow in it right now. Don't think I am going to find any of those guys. Nice shot.

We have these, but I haven't seen any this colorful. Pretty little thing and a super picture of him, Earl. Download a must on this one to see the interesting pattern on his underside.

I would hope that my photos all turn out to be as "no good" as you describe this one! Every scale on his body is sharp!

You did very well to capture that image Earl, they are very skittish indeed. Great shot.
