I couldn’t decide which photo, so putting up both. Click on the title of the post to go to bigger pictures. I used my camera for these, not the phone.

Vika grabbed at it on the way past during our walk. I don’t think she hurt it though.It was in front of next doors fence. I haven’t seen it at our place since Vika hauled it out from behind a piece of timber by its tail. It is the same one I am sure, a little scarred on the tip of its tail. I worry about Vika and snakes and am sorry she hunted this lizard away (lives under our house normally). They keep snakes away.

I didn’t want to keep bothering the poor lizard, so I didn’t manage to get  a picture of its blue tongue.

Sturdy little tree! Tiny silky oak seedling transplanted last month. Never thought to water during heat wave. Few drops of rain the other night must have saved it.

Change just arrived but still over 40 C at 6pm; second change at 10pm, temp just under 30 C and wind gusts.
