An Eastern Water Dragon

beautiful and amazing!
Thank you! They were very well camouflaged!
Simplicity and grace alright!
Now, if that isn’t the look of utter and abject disdain… 😉
Yup. I seem to have that affect on others…
Nice sharp lizard Jude, and background blurred perfectly in the close-up.
Regards as always, Pete. x
Thanks Pete. I almost missed these, they blended in so well with their surroundings.
Wonderful capture 🙂
Came out quite well considering the light was so bright. I love the texture of the skin. Very lucky shot! Thanks Sherri 🙂
Handsome creature totally in its element!
It certainly was. Beautiful creatures.
Beautiful shot. You have captured him so well.
Thanks Colline 🙂
He’s a handsome little guy. I love their texture 🙂
Isn’t that skin amazing? The texture and the patterns.
I’d like to touch his skin, but without getting to close. Know what I mean? Great shot. I think he might be on guard, waiting to see if you’re finished or not. ❤
yes it did feel as though s/he was watching me, a bigger male approached and looked in attack mode!
😀 😀 Glad to hear all ended well. It must have because you’re here and the picture is safe out in blogland.
Amazing shot. Where was this taken, Jude?
near the pool on the Manly walk to Shelly beach. I was actually photographing the info sign about them when my DiL pointed them out to me. There were three, I think this is a female as a much larger one approached. I got a nice shot of him which I’ll try and post.
He looks so snooty. 🙂 Great image for the challenge, Jude.
Thanks Sylvia 🙂
Very clear and vivid image Jude and I like the blurred background.
The light was good so I got some very clear shots. Beautiful creatures!
What a beautiful capture! I saw a few on my walk this morning, but they were skittering across the road out of sight, not offering their best side for a portrait. Where was it? My only encounter where I had a chance of a photo was in the Canberra botanical gardens, and I didn’t have my camera!
Why don’t I read other comments before I post??? Manly. Duuuh.
Are we sure it’s not the water dragon that’s elegant …?
[grin]
Love it, Jude ! And you must, too; as it’s quite silent !
nice camouflage and cool capture –
What a beauty he is! Nice to see you getting close up and personal with the natives, Jude 🙂 Still managing to blog then? When are you on the move next?
Hi Jo! I got some good close-ups of these lizards. I’ll try to post more. Get very tired very early though and it is hot here. I don’t do hot very well, especially since I seem to have come down with a horrid cold. Move into the city tomorrow so will have fun seeing the sites, though will miss the baby – he is such a sweetie. Will see him again in a few weeks time.
The cold germs seem to be going the rounds. I’m wheezing and coughing too 🙂 Just to keep you company. I love hot but it’s nowhere near as easy to tolerate as it used to be. Guess our bodies know what’s good for us as we get a little older, but it’s a bugger sometimes. Take care!
Lucky you to see this, and be able to take such a great photo. I do like lizards/geckos/dragons etc. 🙂
