Beautiful spring day here in Oz, was sitting in my study that overlooks our pond.
This little guy ventured out to catch some rays.
They are called a blue tongue lizard as their tongue is bright blue.  I'm not quick enough to get a shot with his tongue out (haven't toyed with continuous shooting yet).
They grow to about half a foot long and are pretty slow and lumbering.  Harmless although this may explain why 3 weeks ago we had small goldfish in the pond and now we don't !!
