A Portrait of Curiosity
These water dragons are everywhere in the Brisbane Botanic Gardens--there are apparently so many that there's a monument to them! You can see them lounging in the grass, on tree trunks, on the shores of small ponds, and in the middle of every sidewalk there. If you get too close, most skitter away (with the funniest run I've ever seen on a reptile), but this one seemed content to just pose and slowly nose closer to the camera. Unfortunately he only posed for split seconds, which is why there's a bit of motion blur around his body!
