Horned Lizard
Took this image out at the Pawnee Grasslands. I see a lot of these lizards out there, but this fellow had more color and texture than most I see.

Thanks for looking.

Hmmm, I posted a reply last night and it didn't show up here. I said it was a cool shot. I love how he just blends in to the background. I'm surprised you even saw him.

Mama Nature sure fixed that critter up for survival. However, in the Pawnee he is much more likely to be crushed by a cow's hoof than anything else. Nice shot, Jeremy.

Nice detail. Really does show how they blend in.

Pretty cool. They always scurry off before I can get very close.

Talk about camo! Don't know how you spotted him. Was it because he moved? Great capture.
