A Visitor to the Garden

This morning I spotted this beautiful lizard in our garden. It was absolutely motionless and I was fortunate enough to be able to get up close and take this shot with my Nokia N73 camera. Our garden is a walled garden with jagged pieces of glass along the top which tends to discourage wildlife from entering but little fellow found its way in. Before taking this shot, I had picked it up by the tail and repositioned it in our front garden, away from the family dog who only the night before had killed a mouse that found its way in. I didn't want the same fate befalling this creature. Sightings of animals like this are relatively rare in heavily populated Jakarta and so this discovery was a pleasant surprise. Let's hope it lives long and prospers.
