One of the many varieties of lizards that frequent the Stony Point Nature Reserve. This image is for Sharon.
Title from the words of the song "A groovy kind of love", my favourite version performed by Phil Collins

@grouser: Hi Grouser - the photo was a little overexposed due to the glary weather conditions and the bright rock and background, so I used the "auto" button in RAW mode to bring it back to what it was like in real life. The result is what this particular fellow looked like.
@Lorraine: Thanks Lorraine - sometimes the song just pops, sometimes it takes a little longer, but I really enjoy combining my love of photography with my love of music. I'm really pleased you enjoy it, though - helps make the effort more worthwhile :)
@Andrew Gould: Yeah - I have to agree with you and Pedro. It struck me as soon as I saw the final image, but as always, then it was too late. I was just so excited at finally catching one of these with the extra colour that I just snapped away. Lens was my 300mm zoom and aperture wide open at f/5.6. Maybe next time...
@bluechameleon: Thanks Sharon - appreciate the visit!
