I don't just love snakes, I love lizards too! This one is a Western Fence Lizard, Sceloporus occidentalis, in case you were wondering. But you probably already knew that.
darlin - hope this photo didn't make you feel uncomfortable (spiders give me a stomach ache sometimes). I like lizards. The courtyard in the front of the house is a favored spot for lizards. There's one that's really big. I call it "big mama."
David - I had no idea what kind of lizard that was. Thanks for the ID. She (I'm assuming the nearby lizard that was doing push ups was male) was hanging on the courtyard wall. I saw a beautiful 3 ft rattlesnake on one of my recent bike rides. I could admire its beauty because it was moving away from me, not toward me. :)
Sherry photos of lizards don't bother me, it's when they start to live in my house... now that bothers me. I should send Carlos here to play with your lizards, he'd have a blast, unfortunately I might have to learn to love Carlos though, I can't seem to even give him away.

Great photo of this lizard Sherry, I love the sound of the birds chirping here but those flies or bugs I hear best watch it with this lizard nearby!
Have a fantastic weekend!
