Lots of reading, coloring, and OMG actually looking at what was going by.<br /><br />It's amazing how the exotic gets swallowed up by the familiar, isn't it? I had a visitor from Australia and she couldn't get over the squirrels. She thought they were the most amazing creatures. This from a woman who has accidentally hit a Kangaroo with her car. I'm sure it won't be long and blue tailed skinks will just be another ho-hum of our hikes...at least until one pops off at me.<br />~kKeith - Circle Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992667666539622569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081254330907008604.post-66615165642734966422012-07-21T17:30:25.761-05:002012-07-21T17:30:25.761-05:00I thought about making a moto connection about the...I thought about making a moto connection about their tales being blue. One theory about the tail being blue is to help draw attention of a predator. Sounds like Hi-Vis works in the animal world as well.<br />~kKeith - Circle Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992667666539622569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081254330907008604.post-58439497421491455872012-07-21T17:27:38.541-05:002012-07-21T17:27:38.541-05:00There are a number of critters I like, or at least...There are a number of critters I like, or at least don't mind, as long as they stay outside.

When I mentioned seeing a skink to my supervisor, she told me when she was at Girl Scout Camp she picked one up by the tail and...yes, she screamed. I suspect she was freaked out, too.<br />~kKeith - Circle Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992667666539622569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081254330907008604.post-88981986433332398402012-07-20T11:47:32.814-05:002012-07-20T11:47:32.814-05:00Keith,

I know kids these days have TVs built into their seats and all, but for me it was a 25+ hour road trip (one direction) and a father that appreciated silence that first taught me about reptiles. Very very cool. They seem so exotic, like you shouldn't find them so close to, well, anywhere that I've ever been, ever.<br /><br />Brady<br />Behind Bars - Motorcycles and Life<br />www.behindbarsmotorcycle.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03424120592303852860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081254330907008604.post-16639418226546016462012-07-20T00:39:42.815-05:002012-07-20T00:39:42.815-05:00What a cool diversion tactic.
