These beautiful lizards are common sights on rocks on route to one of my favorite blacktail and Arizona black rattlesnake spots. They’re a bit hard to photograph with the 28-135 I had handy, but I manage to get one from time to time. If nothing else, getting out every mile or so to chase lizards is a nice diversion during the 2 hour drive in to this location.
