Garden Lizards - Big and Small


Frangipani also known as Plumeria is one of my favourite plants. 
Not only are the flowers beautiful, so is the shape of the tree.


This particular red frangipani is propagated in a pot to be given to a blogger friend.
As it has becomed top heavy, I leaned it against a big tree to prevent it from falling over.
Do you spot a tree lizard climbing up the frangipani above?


Sometimes we spot small garden lizards.
The one below is resting on a lotus leaf which is floating on water.

At other times, we see huge ones too.


This one looked really ferocious when it opened its mouth wide with its tongue sticking out.
Can you imagine?
Lizards are beneficial to man.
They prey on small critters including garden pests.
However, a big one can swallow a chicken.

Well, I'm thankful there are no coyotes here.

After reading the comments, I need to add here that the dog in the photo is my neighbour's dog.
I wouldn't have allowed my dog this near to a monitor lizard.
