You may remember that at Enchanted Rock State Natural Area on April 12th I saw my first-ever common collared lizard, Crotaphytus collaris. On May 6th at Inks Lake State Park I saw a second one, shown above. Then, not quite an hour later, I found yet another, which soon scurried into the crack between rocks that you see below.
And here's a thought that's as relevant today as when it was put forth in 1941: "In times of change and danger, when there is a quicksand of fear under one's reasoning, a sense of continuity with generations gone before can stretch like a lifeline across the scary present." — John Dos Passos.
