First Sighting

This is my first sighting of a skink in Indiana. It was incredibly fast and most of my photos were blurs of stripes that ran through the grass along side the trail.

He was generous, though, and stopped in the middle of the trail for a photo op and then turned into a blur again in the grass on the opposite side of the trail. This was the second skink that I spotted. The other didn't give me a chance. It had a brilliantly bluer body and went into hiding as soon as it spotted me.
