Texas Spiny Lizard Portrait

The male lizard that lives in my daughter's backyard in Burleson. It has blue scales on its belly and a few under its throat. You can see some at the bottom of this shot. That is how I know it is a male, plus have also seen it mating with the much larger female. Both live under the deck. Beautiful eyes.
