Two guys from early spring

  On Monday the weather was just excellent so we decided to take a small walk in the wild. One of my goals for this year was to take an image of a snake eyed skink, a tiny but very fast reptile. In some places they are pretty numerous and are easy to find. Making a decent photo is a different story. Mentioned about my goal to my wife and after less than half an hour I accidentally noticed one skink escaping under the dry leafs on the ground. A little digging and I managed gently to grab the fellow from the ground and make a couple of pictures. Here is one...

  When we were on the road back to the car we stumbled across this violet oil beetle and of course we had to make a few images...
