Skinks & Patience

Okay, so your probably thinking how in the heck do Skinks and patience go together? well your gonna find out.

I was playing with the camera outside to have a little fun. I was walking on the sidewalk to go to the roses and I saw this:
At first, I thought it was a snake but I saw the blue so I sat down waiting patiently we ALL know that I lack in that category, but I was determined to get a picture of that WHOLE skink because I was fascinated by its tail!

As I was sitting there it came out a little more:

Then MORE:

Then some more (At this point I was so excited I almost peed my pants!):

Then It was ALMOST all the way out:
And finally it came out I almost screamed and then I remembered that I would scare it so I didn't.

Here it is (I think it's magnificent):


I learnt being patient pays off sometimes (:

We always called these blue-tailed racers because they can run so fast. I love the photos!!! Especially the fact that you show the series, including the big pay-off at the end. ;o) I like lizards, and this one is a beauty!
