The Israeli sand gecko has a head that looks almost too big for its body, especially from this angle. I caught this one licking a drop of water from its face - and enjoying it very much. These lizards, the Stenodactylus species, have many common names among which are dune, dwarf, micro, and whip-tail sand geckos. They are native to northeastern Africa and Southeastern Asia. They don't climb but rather burrow in the sand.

I use my camera to explore the world around me and as a basis for creative expression. Because I live in Nebraska, I have a fondness for rural scenes that will be evident as you explore my images, but I enjoy traveling and have many other interests as well. I hope you enjoy your visit.
