Photo of the Week #7

I went to Joshua Tree and camped overnight this weekend. While I was there, I was given the amazing opportunity to photograph a Southern Desert Horned Lizard (I'm fairly sure that's what it is). The MOST amazing thing about this photo is that it looks like I'm way zoomed in to take this shot, but in reality, my camera doesn't zoom in very much, so this was actually taken about 4 inches away from the lizard! It was like God intervened and made the lizard just sit still so that I could get right in its face and photograph it to my heart's content. It was an incredible experience to see such a wicked awesome lizard so up close.
