Sometimes when I’m out in the world, I find something that looks to me like something else. Yesterday, while I was doing some gardening, I picked up a little knob of a stick and was about to toss it into the compost pile when I noticed it looking at me. In kind of a defiant way. I felt a little bad, so I brought it home and took its picture.

It looked like a lizard to me.

Lizard who likes fat flies

A lizard with attitude, telling me how he’d like me to prepare his lunch. I guess I’m glad he wasn’t planning on eating ME for lunch.

And I guess I’m glad I made the drawing, though now I really don’t know what to do with the stick.
