Most of them were perched high up of course. I have some good photos of lizards from my trip to California, mostly turquoise ones...much more exotic looking than the lucky brown one. I can imagine lizards would be fascinating to any cat, and Wimsey is no ordinary cat...good for you for watching out for the lizards.Glohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09532995590131801962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2416483978289413011.post-58927085768154979082013-08-27T10:38:07.959-07:002013-08-27T10:38:07.959-07:00Hi Flighty and thanks ~ Oh yes, I remember that sn...Hi Flighty and thanks ~ Oh yes, I remember that snakes and lizardy things aren't your cup of tea ;) However, this little lizard was quite harmless and lucky to boot!

The wildlife refuge does great work and there is often articles in the newspaper about their recent attempts to help and heal. A membership costs $35 a year, which is well worth it. Also they are happy to take extra fruit, veggies, etc.Glohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09532995590131801962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2416483978289413011.post-84266585725220210062013-08-27T10:23:32.764-07:002013-08-27T10:23:32.764-07:00Hi greenthumb.
