Jewel in a Canyon

Site: On a solid rock wall a few feet above the gravel of a open canyon floor
Weather: Clear skies, wind 12 mph SE, thunderstorms building in the SW over Mexico
Temperature: 103o F Humidity: 28%
Notes: Instead of going straight up where it would have been out of reach, this Southwest Earless Lizard ran down onto the canyon floor and hid beside a rock. They are most comfortable on open ground where they can usually outrun their enemies. They are colorful lizards with green, blue and orange in their pattern.
