Imagine my surprise to come across this slumbering lady as I tugged out a dying Azalea. Oh! Hello. . . I snapped a few photos and gently moved her to a quieter and protected area. The warmth of my (gloved) hands must have woken her a bit, as she lumbered away as soon as I set her down. Sorry, Western Fence Lizard!
We perused various California lizard pictures last night and I immediately became fascinated with our native reptilian population. I can't wait to come across more of our native lizards and (non-poisonous) snakes! A tarantula would be pretty memorable, too (although not a reptile). What have you come across whilst gardening?
