Lizards, lizards everywhere.

They added a few new decorations to the club since I been, the owls are very cute but the one on the end has been drinking and feeling a bit under the weather. 

More nerdy elves




After bingo we went to visit a friend in a nursing home, lots of lovely gardens and areas that the older people can sit and enjoy the sunshine.
 But what amazed me was all the blue tounge lizards,  we counted 8 so I took a few pictures. 

















The beer fairy took photos of a spider he made friends with, it only out at night and makes a catcher web to catch his dinner.

    What a lot of lovely plump blue tongues, they must have an endless food supply or maybe they are a family. The spider is a beauty and really interesting to see one spinning its web. Cheers, Cheryl

      Hello mood today.
      sometime it's hard to find something to write about when I run out I go out in the garden and just take photos.
      If I don't hear from you before christmas have a good one.

    Love the blue tongues. It is a while since I have seen one. We have skinks. Jewel is quite good at catching them (drat her) and always a tad disappointed when they slither off leaving their tails behind.
    I liked the penguin ornament too.

      Hello nice to hear from you.
      The is something about lizards, I like the feel of them on my skin but hate the feel of a cockroach or spider.

    So many blue tongues. I haven't seen one in the wild since I was a kid. We used to give one who lived in the tank stand a small saucer of milk each evening. The spider photos are good.

      Hello to you too Andrew .
      We had one a few years back that lived under our house for a while, he was very old and very big, I think the dog food attracted him.

    Hello, it is cool seeing all the Blue Tongue lizards. I like the owls at the club too. The spider is a little creepy, but I guess it is ok if friends with the beer fairy. Have a happy day and new week ahead!

      Hello.
      The spider is not a harmful one, he lives in the broms in the daytime only out at night so what I don't see doesn't worry me.

    Those lizards are chubby little fellows. They could join the elves and look right at home.

      Hello
      Owls eat spiders, but I think our fellow is safe.
      I never seen a owl in the wild around here, lots of fruit bats here, messy noisy things.

      Hello
      I knew what he was but couldn't remember the name, the beer fairy was calling him a fat daddy long legs.

    Those lizards are big ones, but then again they usually are :), just that I haven't seen one for a long time.
    That spider, oh dear.

    We have a lot of blue-tongue lizards here too, but haven't seen any yet this summer. I love the nerdy elves.

      Hello
      They are kind of different elves, they have personality.
      With the crazy weather we are having the blue tongues are most likely confused I know I am.

    The lizards look like they might be friendly, but that spider is a little alarming! Reminds me of the American Southwest when I lived there - we had lizards and tarantulas that were big but harmless. Cute nerdy elves. x K
