Description
I captured this critter in the Namib Desert in March this year.
Funny story - I initially thought it was dead as it was lying motionless and allowed me to get very close. There were even little ants "eating" at its tail. I took about 40 photos when suddenly this dude decided that he had enough of posing and quicker than a flash of light ran away. I got such a fright that I landed on my butt... but hell - it was worth it!
Thank you for popping in and for your very welcome comments and favs on my last upload "my Girls Today".

I left it rather large - so do zoom for more detail.

Superb capture Carin. God Bless.
Terrific Carin.
Wonderful! and a great story!
fantastic photo !
I like the story and the photo Carin.
Thanks for the laugh Carin, it brightened up the day! I love these little guys.
A very cool looking lizard - his coloring blends in well with the ground, yet I can make out his details just fine. Also like the touch of color that the plants provide. Great shot & composition...
Very cool capture and cute story
Excellent capture. I like the DOF very much. Well done.
super classe photo
Well spotted as he so blends into his background!!
Glad he sat still for you long enough to get this marvellous shot!
Wow, amazing detail! Excellent work, Carin!
Excellent foto, Carin! It was lying out in the sun, just warming its innards as all reptiles are prone to do, and you both startled each other, lol! And, you fell on your bum? If that happened to me, I would have to be carted off to the nearest emergency room.
beautiful Ghecko, very nice capture
Excellent shot, stunning details.. Even the little plants near by are great! lol Super story as well.. Thanks Carin.. Rob
