I've heard it said that lizards in the home are lucky.
In particular, geckos.
I had plenty of geckos at my last home, mostly outside, but occasionally one would find its way inside.
There were plenty of skinks too.
Here in this new home, I haven't seen a single gecko or a skink either.
But I heard odd noises from the front porch late last Saturday afternoon and went out to see what the heck was going on out there.
I saw a blue tongue lizard trying to hide under the "gecko house".
Probably just after a bit of shade I suppose.
Naturally I raced for the camera and hoped he'd still be there when I got back with it.
He was.
It was a hot day here in Adelaide, so after taking this photo, I put a small dish of water within reach for him, then left him alone.
He's disappeared now, living somewhere in the gardens, and he wasn't in my home, just on the front porch, but I still think I'm lucky just for having seen him at all.
How I wish it WAS cold outside.
ReplyDeleteElephant's Child; right now it is cold outside, here in Adelaide anyway. It's that before dawn temperature drop and I'm enjoying every minute. although I am about to go back to bed as soon as I finish here. I'm only awake because I was so very hungry at 4.30am.
ReplyDeleteI like Martina, too. A very nice version.
ReplyDeleteI used to enjoy watching "Glee"...it was a good show filled with wonderful talent.
Very nice selections, River. :)
Cold would be good for a few days.
ReplyDeleteMerle.........
Lee; Martina is another favourite of mine. I liked Glee season one and I think two, but after that, the Rachel character got too bitchy and I didn't watch anymore.
ReplyDeleteMerle; we just had a couple of cooler days, not exactly cold, but a welcome relief and I hope you get the same soon. We're back in the heat now of course.
All these great selections must have put you in a wonderful Christmas mood, River.
ReplyDeleteAnd I bet you've had fun choosing which ones to put up :)
Vicki; it is fun choosing and I've had to write them all down, so I don't forget which ones I've done.
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful Christmas songs beautifully sun..
ReplyDeleteMy 5 grandchildren are counting the sleeps..youngest can't though he is 14 months old..

Margaret-whiteangel; I'm looking forward to seeing what my great nephew thinks of all this Christmas business tomorrow. He's two and a bit.
