I looked through my Alabama photos for a puzzle candidate.  I settled on an anole lizard!  Yes, I’ve never had a lizard on my blog before — and this is probably a first and last, although she was pretty cute.  Well, cute for a lizard.  By the way, this is the 80th puzzle I’ve made through JigZone, although I may not have had them all here.

She was doing what lizards do…sunning herself on a rock.  I read that the males are all green or brown and the females are green or brown with a pattern down their back.  And don’t you just love her blue eye makeup?  Yup, she’s probably out there looking for “Mr. Right”.

Here she is as a puzzle.  It might be a little tougher than usual because of the large amount of rock, but I know you’re up for it!  Click anywhere on the puzzle to begin.

It’s been a LOT of Wednesdays since I posted a puzzle.  I’ve been looking for decent wild flowers behind us to photograph, and I just have to face it — summer has passed me by!

The cone flowers have taken on a pretty salmon color, although most of them are pretty black and dry as dust.  This summer’s heat has taken its toll on the flowers.  And on the bugs as well.  Most of the insects I saw were Asian beetles and soldier beetles.  Mating.  I am sparing you those images.

I think this is a female Northern Shoveler…but I could be wrong because I’m never certain about the females.  She has a pretty big beak though, which looks like a shoveler.

She had just taken a sip of water and was “tossing it back”.  I haven’t done a puzzle for a while, and I know Judy S. looks for them, so here you go, Judy!  (Click on the puzzle to play.)
