Lizard Magic

Magical moments, I live for them! Walking in the thick bracken with the smell of my childhood and to all of a sudden be greeted with the blinking eyes of a Lizard who's clearing running through the next moments of his life through its tiny brain... Do I stay put in the hope he doesn't see me, or do I run for cover? I clearly wasn't a threat, after-all I'm not on a motorbike, I don't have dogs and I'm walking through the cover much like if I were a deer, quietly going about my own business. Lizards clearly know the difference and it's that reason that I have a lot of appreciation for reptiles. They are highly intelligent and go about their business, sometimes without ever being seen. #respectforthelizard
