Southern Exposure

This handsome little guy was perched smack in the middle of our garden path the other day soaking up the sun rays as if there was no tomorrow.  It had been a good long while since we'd seen El Sol, so I completely understood his obsession.  No matter how many times I strolled past him, clapped my hands, or waved my arms... he just sat there.  Basking.  Firmly grounded to Mother Terra and precisely oriented to maximize his southern exposure.  After several passes I figured he must be injured so I finally reached down to transfer him to safety and... boinggg....he sprang off into the weeds which camouflaged him quite nicely once again.  Sometimes you have to stand your ground.  At others, it's better to blend in!
