"What the heck is that lizard doing?" It was the first time I'd ever seen a lizard puff out his pouch (that I now know is called a dewlap) and I was shocked. I didn't know that our friendly little green buddies did that. So I looked it up. Obviously, I had not been very observant over the years, or maybe they had never felt safe enough around me to strut and do their push-ups and puff their dewlap while I was around, but this one was bold and brave and, frankly, a bit brazen. They puff that thing out there as courtship ritual. He could have just been trying to tell us to get lost. It's a territorial thing too.
Nature does seem to like to show off a bit. How about this fuchsia? It looks all dressed up for a ballet performance.
Dahlias are some of the showiest flowers out there. Here's one from Giverny.
Have a great day! Follow nature and show off a little in your unique way.
