I'm baaaaaccccck. This spring belongs to me.

Get out of the way puny humans.

I like the quote - 'Get out of the way puny humans'.
Very primeval.

And so very fitting.

Not a Bearded Dragon but a close relative from just up the street.

I didn't know they were on this island. Eastern Water Dragon Physignathus lesueurii. This one is at least 3 feet. It was gorging itself in grass cut by the local council.

Very cool Glen! What magnificent photos, thanks for sharing them. It's also quite lovely to see you posting.

Way to go Glen!

What a beautiful creature
It is so cool they are at home in someones yard.
I have seen some of your other photos
Would you say there are more birds or reptiles in your yard?.

Great pictures Glen,..that is a beautiful creature.

Sorry Cinda. I missed your question. I think there would be more reptiles in the garden. This is due to the many skinks I have running around. I haven't photographed them because they are small and fast! @gardengus

Goodness, it is the middle of winter and these are out of hibernation sitting in the sun. No wonder my daylilies don't know what is going on either: none of the dormants have acted like it, too.

Eastern Bearded Dragon

So what is the high daytime temperature there?

That day it was a spike of 21.5 degrees (71 Fahrenheit).

The world wide weather is whacked out!

I just love those fellas Glen! Wish I had some here.

I too think the dragons are cool creatures
They sell them here in pet stores but I don't think I could provide a good home , now if I had a conservatory on my house I could fill it with creatures.

That Eastern Water Dragon appears to looking directly at the camera... and posing. Fascinating. Great shot.

Water Dragons are great animals - and sooo big Carol. I notice I didn't say in that post what he was gorging on. These were mainly large grasshoppers that had been injured by the mechanical mower.
