I swear my house is a wildlife santuary...

So yet again I've come home from work, to find a young Blue-Tongue Lizard just chilling near my kitchen table. I have no idea how the hell it got there, nor why it's out at night. Though, they are probably the most hopeless of all lizards when it comes to effective path finding, because they're always the kind you find stuck in your garage. And I guess, my house must clearly be the greatest hang out ever for native animals, seeing as every afternoon there's a bunch of Rainbow Lorikeets in the tree, and the past couple of nights I've found a bunch of frogs that aren't so common, and now a lizard in my kitchen.

I'm not complaining though. I like lizards. Blue-Tongue Lizards aren't all that common either, but most smaller ones are quite tame and happy to sit on your hand for a while, Bigger ones don't appreciate being picked up but they aren't too bothered by the presence of people. I picked him up and took a quick snap before sending it on it's way, though now I'm wondering what else I'm going to come home to... Gotta love living in Australia, where if an animal doesn't kill you, it'll move in with you...

Little Green Friend

 This one was taken about 5 minutes ago, outside my back door. It's just stopped raining, and I spotted this little green tree frog on my window so I went outside to take a photo (I take photos of tons of random things). When I tried to focus on him though, it got a bit startled and decided that my chest was a good place to just sit for a while. So I handed the camera to my girlfriend to take the shot. I hadn't changed the settings, so the photo is a little grainy due to the higher ISO setting.

Unfortunately, these little frogs are becoming pretty rare. Cane Toads are a pest here and have had a massive impact on their numbers. Though, on hot, humid and wet nights, you might see one hanging around your house. Sorry about the lower quality cropped photo below, but it too awesome to not post that chilled out pose. I hope you like it anyway!
