Lizards

I was told some years ago that when I hear the sound of a house lizard, I need to knock on wood and wish for good luck. I still do it, out of habit, and not because I believe in the powers of that distinct tsk, tsk sounds. I am also fascinated how they can detach their tail to escape their predator as I often find  some moving tails whether I am in the kitchen or in the garden tending the plants. 

One day I was bored waiting for my special student to finish his work, I started working on another set of illustrations and this time, lizards. Frogs and lizards are two things that fascinate my student that why I drew some for him. Here are some of my lizard sketches.

And nestled amongst the back of our shoe racks in school is a blind lizard that became a source of excitement for the children to look at every morning. The novelty is gone but the lizard had stayed put and is often off to search for food in the evening. We knew it moves because we find it in different positions everyday. 

Tsk, tsk, tsk... good luck for me! (I need some!)
