Risk

This anole thinks he is hiding from us.

See, he would love to be out on that dark wood trim, basking in the afternoon sun.

But I am far bigger than him, and he's unsure of my intentions. Perhaps I want to eat him or rip off his tail... or maybe he's just camera shy.

He will be a bit cold as he hunkers down with the weather tonight, but he lives to see another day. 

Choosing when to stick one's neck out can be a complicated decision.
