this is a european green lizard, in this season there are a lot of them where I live. before I had chickens I used to see them even in my garden... but hens seem scarier than my dog and now they stay away! :/

They aren't in my area! I love seeing what other people see!

They look awesome! I wish we had some around here! Too bad they're not hanging out around your place as much anymore.

i have a weird hobby (maybe its not weird i don't know) but i like to document all the animals located on the land the family owns. got three different property's i keep track of.
don't really take pictures. but make lists of all what has been found.

I am doing the same thing with our 36.5 acre property. But also trying to get as many Ontario wildflower photos as I can find, especially from my particular county.

I'd like to hear some of the animals you have around there, and see some of those flowers! It's fun to learn what wildlife other people have around them!

I am surprised I did not find this thread earlier. I definitely consider myself a naturalist. I was the head Naturalist at the Provincial Park near where I live for 12 years. The job title was Natural Heritage Educator/Specialist. I supervised all the staff at the Visitor Centre and the volunteers. We ran guided hikes, evening presentations, school programs and other special events. That was many years ago now, but the love for nature is still strong.

Yes! Go enjoy the day! It's a little cold where I am but I've still got a beautiful blue sky! All my Spring bulbs have started to bloom, too!
