Western Fence Lizard, Boyce Thompson Arboretum, Superior AZ

I am in Bay City Michigan this morning, for the Midwest Birding Symposium. Yesterday was a travel day, so I only got one photo…which I will post as my For the love of landscape… shot for today. I still have hundreds of images that I would like to share from my cross country trip with my daughter Sarah. This is Boyce Thompson Arboretum, in Superior AZ…one of my favorite places to visit, though I have not been there in more than 20 years. We always used to stop on the way back from Tucson to Gallup on our spring break trips when I lived in New Mexico. Sarah and I were having lunch on the patio of the visitor center when these two Fence Lizards decided to dispute the territory on the top of a log round at the edge of the patio. I shot these from our table, between bits of sandwich. 🙂
