Lizard porn

Although terribly hot yesterday, the humidity was down even after days of rain.  I sat on the side porch in the evening and spotted two amorous lizards on the leg of a chair.  The males have been scurrying around for days puffing out their throats to display a red dragon beard and doing lots of tiny push ups. There have been lizards hopping here there and everywhere doing acrobatic feats to get from one place to another. The porch has been a little like an episode of Jersey Shore.  This evening I discovered a male and a female in an embrace.

I had to raise the flash to get the photo and these poor babies must have thought they were seeing fireworks.
