Little Dragon

This is a baby Jacky Dragon that poked its
head up amongst some tiny flowers looking
for flies to eat.
Its more a macro but I thought it
appropriate here

Hi Mark,
I like these little Dragons they let you approach and remain dead still, till they've had enough then run like crazy. Nice capture and you gave him room to look for his next meal.

Andy
You are right about how quick they are - a couple of shots
and this guy was gone in the blink of an eye.

This is not only charming and well photographed, but so compelling that I've started making up stories in my head about him and his life and journeys! I'll come back to this often...

Great capture - tack sharp, but the great BG really makes this shot to me. Congrats on your EP!
