For more about fringed lizards, see these websites: These colorful lizards are often found on lichen-covered rocks. I thought some joker left a toy plastic lizard by the side of the trail, but it was alive!


Father, let me dedicate All this year to you
In whatever earthly state You will have me be
Not from sorrow, pain, or care Freedom dare I claim;
This alone shall be my prayer: Glorify Your name.
--from New Year's Hymn by Lawrence Tuttiett, 1864 (alt.)
