Ok, edition complete!

As always, there are things that bother me and things I would change, but for the moment, it's done and I like it a lot.

I have lived most of my life around these little blue-tail skinks (which are actually juvenile five-line skinks). They have been scurrying all over my patio since the weather warmed up, so when I found myself with 4 pieces of lino to use, they offered quick inspiration 😁

A close up of rectangular multi-layer linocut print. On a white piece of thick white paper with a deckle edge. The image at the center of the paper is of a light blue hexagonal tile floor with a blue-tail skink sitting on top of it. The skink has a black body with yellow stripes running down its length. The stripes converge at the base of the tail and transition from yellow into a solid blue that covers the entire tail.

Apparently I stopped one day short of covering all my photos from the Philadelphia plant show! Probably because my kid had an entry in this category, which is also hard to photograph. Miniature gardens/landscapes, which covers a range of approaches. Info in alt-text; 2nd post to follow.

Close shot of the front of the caravan, showing the bark roof, the teensy pots near the door, and other details like the railing and steps and wooden wagon wheel.
A different take on the category, involving a desert gorge setting with a river running through rocks diagonally across the box. There's also something like a miner's shack. Plants here are mostly in the corner and all succulents or cacti. I think. I especially like the round cactus in the lower left, which is surrounded by tiny spherical pups. My daughter noted that this exact gorge + shack was entered last year, although the plants have matured and/or been changed. That seemed a little unfair to both of us, although the judges weren't bothered.
A couple of the other entried, showing a higher ratio of plant life to landscaping and building work One appears to have a gravel path, park bench, and tree (maybe 5 inches tall) with a lot of moss and ferns. The other is more desertish and has a variety of succulents lining a stone path.

Here's my daughter's entry, which also had a lot less building, but above-average creativity. She was inspired by the mosaic lizard in Gaudi's gardens in Barcelona (photo in the half of the photos I haven't posted, but link here: https://wanderingtrader.com/travel-photos/parc-guell-lizard-barcelona/) and built a two-tiered planter with lizard and bowl.

The rest of the planted lizard garden. Here we see the rest of the bowl, including his mosaic body at the upper left, with his tail extending along the rim of the bowl and becoming a waterfall into a mosaic-bottomed pool. Next to the tail are several tall succulents with leaves only at the top, giving them the appearance of palm trees. Within the curve of the tail are a couple of bright red plants, and again the shapes and colors vary throughout the bowl. In front can just be made out part of the map of species that must be included with each entry.
I decided that this was hard to make sense of in those two photos, so here is the finished lizard before he had the "waterfall" added to his tail and before anything was added (dirt or plants). A clearly abstract lizard shape is made of a turquoise material, with compartments in the head (small), body (medium), and tail (open to the dropoff into the bowl), following the curve of the left side and back of the bowl. All surfaces are covered with brightly colored mosaic tiles in a mix of shapes. Only one of the lizard's feet is visible, supported on a rock inside the bowl, with round gecko toes. The planter is sitting on some newspaper, where bits of grout dust have collected.

Another "like a tribal tattoo" ... this time. Planned to draw it more like these clay figurines decorated with coloured glass shards available in souvenir shops :blobcatjoy:​

Yesterday on my sunday stroll in the city I came by a small wall with lots of flowers growing out of gaps in the wall.

Suddenly I spotted something moving, it was a #lizard ( #lacertidae ). With a quick movement, the lizard suddenly grabbed a bee that was collecting nectar on a flower.

Fortunately, the lizard was startled when it noticed me, so I was able to take a photo of it with my smartphone.

I was quite surprised when I noticed this iOS detail.

When you look at a photo in your gallery there's a button for Visual Look Up that is an "i" in a circle with sparkles when it can identify what's in the photo.

I noticed when I was viewing a photo of a lizard that the button changed to a lizard in a circle with sparkles! 🤯🦎✨

Can you find the horned lizard?

I used to love this game that AfroHerper played on ExTwitter, so here's my version of it from the recent Mexico biodiversity cataloging expedition.

There is a Ditmars horned lizard ("horny toad") in this photo. It's the one I found and the first of only two found on the trip. It's a juvenile about 3" long.

If you see it, don't spill the beans! I'm hitting the road soon, but will give the answer tomorrow or tonight.

BTW, it's not hidden in the watermark or anything sneaky like that. They are just really hard to spot on the ground until they move.

It's been a while since I took this photo of this cute lizard (Liolaemus cristiani Núñez) that is endemic to the Andes Mountains, in central Chile.

A lizard endemic to the central area of Chile, large in size and very robust in build, with scales of very beautiful colors, between metallic green, black, brown and orange on the belly.
