Juvenile bearded dragon at termite mound, Midwest outback, Western Australia
We were out in the outback in spring looking at the wildflowers when my travelling companion urged me closer.
I’m not a fan of reptiles! This is as close as I was willing to go! I had to concede, the markings were beautiful.

They would normally run away from you, Dawn. Beautiful shot.

That’s what I was told while being coaxed closer but it didn’t move! Lol. Gorgeous markings I thought.

Hehe, I’m with you there. My teenaged neighbor got one of these for Christmas last year. When they go away, I take care of their pets, cat, dog and now this guy, who is not my favorite by a long stretch. 😉

I drew the line at giving it a daily bath in the sink. No way, Jose! Just the thought of touching it makes my skin crawl. 😉

Thank you. If you are referring to the yellow ones they are honeyeaters.
