Goanna

Yesterday whilst clearing out some dead wood amongst the trees, something caught my eye and it was a huge Goanna... now when I say huge I mean he was over 1 metre long (3 feet). Now these are very interesting creatures, you should google Goanna and read about them. I watched it for a while talking to him.. yes I did talk to him/she or whatever gender it was then I said stay here don't go away and I went back to the house and got my camera. When I came back it was still there and seemed to pose happily whilst I snapped away. I didnt go too close as not to frighten it away.. thank goodness for zoom LOL. I have posted two photos today, the close up really shows beautiful markings.. looks like its wearing gloves LOL, I hope you enjoy.
