This past weekend I was playing with the chain saw, slicing up some logs that a local tree removal company had given us for free (they removed a neighbor's tree and we volunteered to take the wood off their hands), when I encountered this Eastern Fence Lizard.
The body was between 4 and 5 inches long. He was patient as I ran inside the house to retrieve the camera, and he posed for quite a while. It was nearly dark by this time, so it took a number of photo attempts to get the focus just right.
These pics were taken with my Nikon Coolpix (4 MP) that I've had for about 3.5 years. It continues to be a durable camera and I've been delighted with the quality of shots I can get from it.

That's just cool. I'm always amazed at the things we find accidentally in God's great creation.
Last week I went outside to close up the chicken coop and, having spied the wonderful full moon, ran back inside to grab the elder Placid child to have her get back OUT of her PJ's and dress in jeans and a sweatshirt. We went for a 2-mile walk in the woods...with no flashlight (I had one with me, but we never turned it on.) What a great moment for us! Better, even, than a fence lizard.
