Summer Cathedral!

    "I walk without flinching through the burning cathedral of the summer. My bank of wild grass is majestic and full of music. It is a fire that solitude presses against my lips." Violette Leduc

      I saw a lizard posing like this a few weeks ago. The one I saw had its mouth open -- it seemed to be overheated. I think this sort of pose allows them to keep their backs warm, but also to cool their bellies.

      This is a fantastic shot; the bokeh background looks like fireworks going off!
