Good morning, Mickey basin.
Off I go herping
Chapped lips sunburnt skin
My throat is dry; veiled in dust
Whiptail gets away
You are so silly,
Mojave black-collared lizard
Get out of the sand
Time does not matter
with no watch on your wrist. Tick…
Tock… apply sunscreen
It is dry and hot
No thick stratum corneum
I do not belong
Solitude delight
Junipers make me daydream
I am never bored
Harney County, Ore.
Why are the locals cranky?
The air is too hot.
Wow, Western Whiptail.
Parthenogenetic: Clones
“Just like your mother”
Eastern Oregon
Horned lizards and virgin springs
I am nostalgic
Lizards, lucky view.
The landscape here is grandeur.
Unbelievable.
Trail map? Sagebrush scrapes.
Protection for the reptiles.
Not a friend to me
Mimics rattlesnake,
but hisses like a buffoon.
- catenifer
Ants on the menu
Platyrhinos sit and wait
Grab, chomp, swallow. Gone.
- wislizenii
The females are more ornate
Sometimes males do choose
Western fence Lizard
Good morning, you black beauty
From sun, colors change
Side blotch on Uta
Other animals target
Bullseye. It’s lunchtime
Gopher snake skin found
Coloration still on tail
Hebejebes overtake
Individuals
exhibit variation
Just like me and you
Proof of past humans
Coprolites contain the truth
Bering bridge? Bullshit
