the day started with baking cheese cake. It was an experiment, because the queso fresco here is different from the Quark that i´m used to from Germany for baking this cake. But it turned out well and everybody was enjoying the cake.

later we drove the teenager to the horse stables. Nothing was going on. It was siesta, the stables were closed, nobody there.

the girls didn´t mind, they found something to read and to talk about.

you and i were looking for photo motives.




but then seen from your camera, something was going on in the distance. Enrique was out of the house, i was kneeling down looking at something............

seen through my camera now a lizard in the corner of the stairs.
Unfortunately, Enrique, the senior boss of the stables is terrified of lizards. He started yelling and screaming and most of it i didn´t understand. I did get that he didn´t like the lizard and wanted it far away.

so i took it and left the yard.

he was still shouting and telling me to go far, far away with this monster that destroyed his siesta. Our teenager is watching quite amused with it all.

you took a picture of the pigeons watching from the roof and wondering what was going on down there.

the lizard in my hand though was relaxed.

in the sun it was sleepy, it was siesta time after all...........

but when i wanted to put it down, it climbed up my dress and decided to stay there. For a brief moment we discussed to take the lizard home with us for more pictures with the makro lens, but i didn´t like the idea too much. This was the lizard´s home. We couldn´t just relocate it only for some more pictures. I enjoyed carrying it around with me. For me reptiles have this connection to some ancient wisdom and being in contact with them fills me with joy.

photopoet I love your imagination and the way you view what you see. The horse and the lizard story are so engaging—love the style of both and your narrative voice.
