Skink Heaven

From the totally domesticated yesterday, to the totally wild today.

Actually it's been a horrible blip day today. Nothing was working right - I couldn't get any of my settings right, or my lenses right, or my focus right, or anything right. I must have taken over 200 images, and deleted the lot of them.

I was standing rather forlornly in the front garden, desperate for something, anything to blip, and I heard a little rustle at my feet. Glanced down just in time to see a quartet of these lovely little skinks disappear into the leaf litter. Now, I know my skinks, and I knew if only I could keep still for a few minutes (a bit of a stretch I know, but it can be done), they would come back again. And they did. I chose this one because you can see that he knows I'm there, and it's just the split second before he dives off again to safety.
