The wonderful outdoor studio...

that has allowed me to get some terrific lizard shots the last couple of days is generously provided by R & C who live near the very upper end of Castle Valley. They enjoy the lizards so much that they’ve created a rock garden for them to bask. Thank you very much!

Wide view of my setup, several meters from the rock garden.

The key to good wildlife photography is to be at eye level with the subject, no matter how great or small.

This sagebrush lizard kept me company while patiently waiting for the collared lizard to make its appearance.  We were stood up.
