The thermometer hit at least 73 degrees today.

I figured it may be worth my effort to go look for a reptile or two, and sure enough, it paid off. Finding lizards was hard enough back in Wisconsin, but it was basically unheard of in February. Here in the Ozarks, though, when the temperature rises, we can usually find a reptile somewhere.

This was a nice looking lizard, and after showing it to my son, I let him let it go in our garden. Hopefully, it'll be part of our "organic pest control" in the garden next year. Here's a few photos from before we let it go. Enjoy!
