Today I started late because I was going to be working at an evening event, but I went to the visitor center early to use the wifi. As I sat in the rocking chair on the porch outside, I saw one of the many lizards that live under and around the porch - it is just about impossible to sit still for more than a few minutes and not see one of these darting in and out from under the porch railing and in between the cracks. This one actually stretched out in the sun for a few minutes.
That is one relaaaxed lizard. I believe it is a Southeastern Five-Lined Skink - according to Tennessee Watchable Wildlife the juveniles have a bright blue tail and very distinct stripes. That's blue all right!
