Lizard In The Backyard

It was Thursday and I was feeling unhealthy. That's why I spend time in the back of the office, staring at nothing, when suddenly I caught a glimpse of some movement.

I looked and what I saw was a lizard staring back at me. I decided to take some picture and run back to my desk, grab my camera, and hurriedly went outside once again. But this time, a couple of meters from it I stopped. Then cautiously, slowly, I took out my camera and start shooting.



At first I shot from above so the picture showed the upper body part. But then I thought, why shouldn't I try to get some mug shot? If it were too scared, it could've just skirting up the floor and vanished through the drain -- which it did later on.

I also took some pictures of its left rear foot that swollen blue and black, like some old wound untreated and decayed. Must've hurt a lot. It could get blood poisoning out of it.

Taking its pictures from various position and height got me really sweating like a pig. But that all was a challenge. I'm looking forward for another encounter with the wild animals!

Cheers for photography!
