Skink and His Colorful Tree

I saw this little guy while I on vacation in North Carolina at the end of June 2010.  I thought he was a cutie - but I also LOVE the bark on this tree!

    The bark on the tree is gorgeous.

  10. I love these little critters. The lizards scurry around my yard and up the fences, trying to get away from my dog, that is so utterly fascinated with them. Your photos are phenomenal.
