Frillies everywhere!

Frilly

Another one of those Darwin commuting experiences this morning. On the bike ride in, I saw 5 frill necked lizards. It's been a really great year for seeing lizards around town. Definitely fun for a herper. This one was particularly cooperative. Unfortunately, these guys always hang out in places where the lighting is awful for taking photos. So, when I used the flash to counteract the contrast between the dark bark and extremely bright sky, I ended up with a photo that looks like it's been heavily Photoshoped. This really is a natural pose, he really did look just like this, and nothing has been doctored in the photo, except to crop it a bit.
