After a few days on the beach, the jungle on down the shoreline peaked my interest,
so I left the beach scenery for the jungle scenery.
It wasn’t long before the shoreline became challenging big boulders alone the shore inhabited by a lot of lizards.
(Note the lizard on the near boulder.)
As I climbed over the boulders I kept looking for a path into the jungle.
Finally there was an opening, but not much of a path.
In addition to thick growth and debris, there was a fence adding to my passage into the jungle.
Other than seeing a lot of lizards, my attempt to go into the the jungle on my own was uneventful.
So, I headed back to the beach scene.

“Disturbed” Desert Spiny Lizard — Image by kenne
I was doing yard work this Saturday morning and uncovered a desert spiny lizard that was still wintering, which gave me time to go get my camera.

Lizards are very common to the desert — they are everywhere. This one just happen to be in our yard, showing off all his color.

Lots of colored spins.

Greater Roadrunner On The Patio — Images by kenne
I was sitting on the patio when this guy jumped up on the wall, about eight feet from me and started making talking noise, so I began making a similar noise back. He was looking at the water fountain to his left and the olive tree to his right, which is the home of tree lizards. These attractions seemed to neutralize my present. Even so, he continued to talk — maybe he was fussing!
I think he was telling me to leave, while I was wishing I had my camera. Assuming he would not be there if I went for the camera, I still took a chance and went inside.
To my surprise, he was still there when I returned — even more surprised as I moved in closer than I had been when he first appeared. The conversation continued as I clicked away.
One of the characteristics of these birds is that of having a mind of their own — sometimes their behavior is very unpredictable, making them fun to watch and even more so if they carry-on a conversation.
In a few minutes he ran on without a lizard or getting water.
