It was a juvenile Side-blotched Lizard. This critter wasn’t but about three inches long from nose to tip of tail, but it was still a nice find for me.
The Side-blotched Lizard is common in my area, but normally I only see the reptiles with orange spots on them. This little fellow appears to have blue spots along the back, but also what appears orange on its sides. It would be interesting if it was blue on top, orange on the sides, but I think it will develop one spot color as it matures.

The second pic is awesome!
I think some of us are in for an early Spring. Your find and great shot is yet another indicator!
I saw turtles sunning and a few butterflies out this weekend. They usually don't get here until March!
Great picture of this cute little guy!
Have a good week! :-)
I always get excited when I spot lizards, it's hard to capture them since they are quick. Well done!
Cute little lizard - great shots!
