Been real busy working on my house lately and have not taken any shots. I was walking around looking at our flowerbed and saw this lizard in the light. I went in and grabbed the first camera I saw which was the Pentax K-3 with my Sigma 100-300mm f4 lens. Great lens by the way. Got a few shots off before it took off running for its life, or so it thought. Anyway I like the contrast and pose it gave me.

Very cool. The only thing better might have been a magenta lizard (out of your control).

Oh, I have a Pentax K-3 also.

Wish we did have magenta lizards around here. All we have are brown and green ones. Got a shot of a praying mantis on a red background. It was pretty cool looking. Thanks for looking.

The little lizard just stood out like a shinny new penny on the darker leaf. Don't know if it is Leroy or Lizzie but being skinny and wrinkled it reminds me of an old man so I will say it is Leroy.
