Mediterranean Gecko

At night, these things stalk the windows, especially those with light shining out (“Bugs!”). Unfortunately, when you’re not quite familiar with a phone’s controls, you may cause the flash to fire before you mean to. Should this happen, you may notice a distinct lack of geckos, except perhaps one that was stunned / blinded during the first flash.

What’s the proper response?

Stun / blind him again! But this time, get a good shot.

Well, I got a shot anyway, and the gecko stumbled off before I got another picture.

Another White Rock Lake find.

Green Anole

I rather wish I wasn’t quite so aggressive in trying to get a good close shot. Notice the red dewlap under the chin. If I was patient, I may have had a chance to see him (her?) display it: head bobs, pushups, and all.
