Trapped!

Found this five-lined skink sitting in a flower pot in my garden the other week. I assume it is a five-lined skink as that is the skink I see in my yard. The young ones have blue tails and so a easier to spot than the adults. Not a great picture for detail, but i like the striping and all the different shades of brown in the image.

I love skinks--their metallic appearance, their snake-like movements.

Thanks for reviving some pleasant summer memories from my childhood.
