No BIF so a lizard on the ground it is

No BIF action at the local lake, but then I noticed something moving nearby. I was ready to move (quickly!) because there are snakes in the area. However, it turned out to be this lizard.

Oly 1 mk 2, 40-150/f2.8 with 1.4TC. Taken from about 48" and cropped heavily.

Enjoy.

Glad you liked them and thanks for the ID. I am no herpetologist, but I felt reasonably comfortable stating it was a lizard.

Nice set, Gary. Lizards are good, too.

Thanks Stan. In situations like this I shoot in burst mode (10 fps) just because you never know what you might capture. This was one of those happy circumstances where I happened to catch something interesting.
