Western Fence Lizards
p.1 #1Western Fence Lizards
are about as common as nails in the Southwest. But like any living creature, the more time you spend with them, the more their personalities begins to show. I love when they do their "pushups" to attract females and also ward off rivals.
These were shot over two mornings with the OM-1 MKll and Olympus 100-400
Thanks for taking a look !

Nice set Gary. How big are they?

Thanks Birdie.
I'd say about 3 inches for the body and another 3 inches for the tail.

Very nice set. Great work capturing these quick little guys. #15 for me - nice detail on the lizard and a complimentary background.

I was surprised you said that, being from Texas. So I looked up their range and it looks like they don't range into Texas.
Thanks Greg
