Blue Jay at Blandair Park, 18 November, 2013
I like the soft blue of the jay against the light brown of pokeweed and dark green of the understory plants.
Five-lined Skink, High Ridge Park, 24 June 2013
High Ridge Park in north Laurel is a good place to see these small lizards. Below is a young Five-lined Skink also from High Ridge Park on June 24, 2013.

Good thing for this Box Turtle these RR tracks have been long abandoned. Jessup, Howard County, 15 October 2013
Six-lined Racerunner, 29 May 2013, Harmans, MD (Anne Arundel County. MD)
A well-named fast-moving lizard near the northern limit of its range. I remember finding them here about 30 years ago so it was nice to see some have survived despite new development nearby.
