NEXT

While admiring the oncoming thunderstorms the other night, I noticed, as I often do out here in the desert, something go scamper across the ground. Usually some of the other common lizards out here are much to quick to catch and get a good shot of. But the horned toad lizards are not all that fast. So they will likely get to be photographed a little more often.

This one here actually had a strange shape in a few of its horns on its head. With a couple of them curled on the ends, it makes me wonder if this was one of them that I had noticed several months ago when I was mowing. And if so, I wondered, could this be a result of being hit by the mower? I sure hoped not, but at the same time, if so, I was glad that it had survived. And whatever had caused the alteration in its appearance, it didn't seem to affect it any. 
Well, other than the fact that this lizard was alone, and potential mates might have found it to be repulsive.
