Lizard & Gecko

Lizard & Gecko

Lizards and Geckos, I see them every day, either in our garden or when I’m out with my dogs. They are incredibly fast, running and hiding as soon as you get close. If you’re lucky, it stops for a moment and you can take your photo. If you fail, you can always try again.

This one I’ve seen a number of times, on the same tree, where I usually park with my doggies. It disappears as soon as I get close so instead of taking my macro lens, I brought my zoom. Then I could take my photo without getting close, I think it turned out pretty good.

Yesterday. I managed to capture this cute little gecko in our garden.
The images are the same, but two are cropped. It was a very small one.

This one is the same as the top one, just different edits. It’s from when I was in Cyprus in 2016. Then, I didn’t know I would settle here, but the photo has followed me all the way. Lucky me :))

    Som alltid helt underbara bilder:-) Smart med att zooma in sötnosarna:-)
    Sedan blev jag nyfiken på skillnaden mellan en gecko och en lizard. Rätt intressant faktiskt. Kolla!

      Tack Beate. Har faktiskt kollat men tror du jag blev klokare för det ;))

    Helt fantastiska bilder. Jag vet hur snabb en gecko är. Nu väckte du minnen igen.
    Vi hade massor av dem i Nigeria. Även inomhus. Men tomten hade en 3m hög mur och hunden kunde gå ut i trädgården precis när han ville.
    Om du visste hur många geckosvansar vi hittade där. Hunden försökte alltid fånga dem förstås 😆

      Tack Kristallina. Våra hundar springer fritt på tomten men några geckos har det inte lyckats fånga, iallafall vad jag vet. Felicia är fortfarande som en valp och vill jaga det mesta som rör sig, men de är för snabba, som tur är. Skulle inte bli glad om jag såg en geckosvans.

    Yes, great photos. You’ll have to practice walking very, VERY, slowly towards your subject while clicking as you walk. It may stay for a little longer, but probably not much! Sometimes you get very lucky! 😊

    Lovely lizard photos, the gecko is colourful. I use telephoto in preference for some macros 🙂

    Beautiful captures of these very active creatures. they don’t like to pose too long for photographers. Your tele was a very good idea.

    1. Anita Avatar

      Thank you Greta. Yes, they are very active and you feel joy when you succeed.

    That green-coloured lizard has the longest tail!

    1. Anita Avatar

      Yeah, it was hard to get the whole length of the tail in the picture 😁

    De hade jag gärna i min trädgård. Vilken glänsande skönhet den lilla mot klippan. Jättervackra bilder allihop, den första blir favoriten.

    It is fun to see different edits of the same shot. 😊

    1. Anita Avatar

      Perhaps the editing itself is the most fun 😀 Thanks for commenting Pepper.
