Spring is here, and I’m finally out hiking several times a week. I haven’t seen many snakes yet, but these side-blotched lizards are everywhere. They let you get decently close before running away, and can display some brilliant colors this time of year. I usually don’t take many photos of them, but this one stayed on his rock and tried to scare me off with some terrifying head-bobs, so at least deserves documentation.
