This lizard clearly skipped its leg day workout.

A rustle in the grass caught my eye. There it was—a lizard frozen mid-stride as though debating whether I was friend or foe. Its eyes glinted in the sunlight, and its tail seemed to stretch endlessly behind it. I crouched down to observe it more closely, marveling at how its textured skin mirrored the earth tones around it. The simplicity of this moment felt oddly profound—just a creature existing in its element while the world rushed by. Nearby, children’s laughter echoed faintly from a park bench, but for me, time seemed to pause under the lizard's watchful gaze.
