Horned Lizard 1-b

Horned Lizard 1 -a

Hiking with friend Christi saw not one but two horned lizards bringing the total to about four I’ve discovered in my life. They’re everywhere, most often lurking by anthills. And they don’t run as fast as the thinner lizards, so once you spot one your chance of getting a picture is good. I spotted the first one and Christi found the second. These pictures occupied my desktop for a long time.
