  I was walking through a dry river bed with my father searching for lizards and snakes. We saw this big one at first but it hided itself quickly. On the way back we knew where he was so my father appreached him from the other side of the rock and I waited with my camera ready (an 3,5 megapixel Olympus compact). The plan worked and the lizard walked on the rock where I was able to take this nice picture. Posted 13 years ago
