Eastern Collared Lizard — Image by kenne
Hot, dry, brown and gray
Not this colorful lizard
Posing on a rock.
Maybe she will see
Him in his many colors
Posing on a rock.
Watch him arch his back
Blow out his sides to look big
As he does push-ups.

Eastern Collared Lizard — Image by kenne
Another sign of spring in the desert is our reptile friends, most scurrying about, making it challenging to photograph.
But not the eastern collared lizard (Crotaphytus collaris), who like to pose for you on a nearby rock.
I have other photos of the lizard from earlier springs and could have easily used one of them,
but this image was taken a week ago.
Welcome back, my friend — it is springtime in the Sonoran desert.
