An Agama basking in the morning sun
Eyes front, looking straight into the camera
The rocky outcrops in the Wadi Showkha may look dry and desolate, somewhat devoid of life forms but the rugged terrain serves as the home of an amazing array of lizards. Among these are the Agamas. These Agamas with their camouflage perfectly blends with the landscape as they forage for insects. It was a truly awesome encounter to observed them up close as I was traversing a morning hike up the Wadi Showkha trail.
Awesome creature! Awesome CREATOR!
