A Cat Tale

What's captured Jim-Bob's attention?


He certainly is focused on something. What?


He moves in for a closer look. Something on the wall. . . .


Ahhh! He sees a lizard. 


A lizard that's missing a tail. Technically, this lizard is a five-lined skink which has the ability to shed its tail when caught by a predator. If the tail were still there, it would be blue.

Something else that's missing are pictures of what happened next: Jim-Bob jumped, the lizard fell to the deck, Jim-Bob grabbed it, I grabbed Jim-Bob, Jim-Bob dropped the lizard, the lizard ran under the car with Jim-Bob in hot pursuit.


Thus endeth the tale.
