| Bearded Dragon Lizard from Australia | | 2008-02-14 00:48:00 | | Australian Bearded Dragon LizardBearded Dragons have broad triangular heads and flattened bodies, with adults reaching approximately 18 to 24 inches head-to-tail. When threatened, the lizards will expand a spiny pouch under their jaw and turn it black, as well as inhale air and puff up to make them appear larger. The pouch resembles a beard, lending the animal their name.Bearded Dragons have a distinctive series of spines radiating horizontally from the head to the tail. Their color ranges from light tan to dark brown, depending on their native soil, often with highlights of black, brilliant red, or gold, and can change somewhat depending upon their internal condition. Bearded Dragons can occupy a large range of habitats from the desert to dry forests and scrublands.All species are from Australia, but they have been exported worldwide and bred successfully in captivity. In the wild, the various species are widely distributed throughout different regions of Australia. Bearded Dragons li | | By: David's Nature Photography Gallery | | |
| | Lazy Sunday [Bearded Dragon Lizard] | | 2007-08-11 23:08:00 | | Lazy Sunday - A Bearded Dragon Lizard in the SunLazy Lizard Lies in the SunRecently I was walking around a friend's property, mostly Australian semi-rural bushland, when I came across this little creature. Although he looks frightening, the Bearded Dragon lizard is practically harmless, and refused to move a muscle even when we picked him up! Before moving him, I snapped this shot at an unusual angle. The detail in this photo is amazing when viewed full-screen, especially around the lizard's head - you can see every small spike and inflection in his scaly skin. Although, as I said, these lizards are practically harmless, they can give you a nasty bite if provoked, so don't go picking them up!This shot really makes you think. Whenever anybody looks at this picture they tend to automatically tilt their head counter-clockwise 90 degrees and look up and down the lizard's body. That's because of the unusual composition and depth of field in this photo.The Bearded Dragon's head forms t | | By: David's Nature Photography Gallery | | |
| | Bearded Iris (Iris germanica) | | 2007-06-04 12:06:00 | | Bearded IrisIris germanica(EYE-ris) (jer-MAN-ih-kuh)Iridaceae (eye-rid-AY-see-ay)This is a Bearded Iris from work. It is not a particularly attractive flower but looks okay viewed close up. The top is kind of a dusty pink, which doesn’t work that well with the other colors. I do have a lot of Iris flowers this year and I hope the large number of Japanese Iris planted in the garden follow the lead of the Bearded, Siberian and Species Iris that have all bloomed well this season. Uh-oh. On a lighter note, a Weeping Blue Spruce (Picea pungens ‘Glauca Pendula’) bud shot with a very shallow depth of field. I like trying to work with a shallow DOF but it may not be for everyone. It is good planting weather as the rain is coming down hard but not too hard. It has time to soak into the ground. In between the heavier showers a light mist is falling. We have had over an inch and a half, so far, with more on the way. Hopefully this will perk up the Dahlias I put in on Thursday. Even though I | | By: Digital Flower Pictures.com | | |

| Bearded irises | | 2007-05-01 07:00:00 | | KitsapsunCritics of bearded irises say the flowers are too fleeting, their lives too short, that they bloom for a few brief weeks in spring, then are gone until the next season. Further, they maintain, the foliage gets tattered and messy, and the plant doesn't provide enough interest for them to earn their keep in a small garden where every plant is on display all year.
There's some truth to all of that, but for those weeks the bearded irises are in bloom, it's heaven on earth. The colors are magnificent, the combinations stunning, and the scent of the flowers perfumes the air like no other flower. It's no wonder the genus was named for Iris, Greek goddess of the rainbow... | | By: The Flower Expert - Flowers Encyclopedia | | |
