5 years agoMight be a sicilian wall lizard. Yes, many lizards do change colors. Some change with temperature, some with stress, and some, notably chameleons change to match backgrounds.

5 years agoWe are finding difficulty on the other side of the equation - once home and "unpacked" finding what we need when we need it is difficult at times. Several important items have gone astray. We are determined to make a very detailed list of what is in each bin before leaving for our next trip. We should probably try to be as organized with our "to go" things as well!

5 years agoThanks. Hopefully I’ll learn from this and get it right the next time.
5 years agoIf you were spending your time making sure you didn't forget anything and packing perfectly, you wouldn't have any energy left for your creative photography and writing. So for your loyal readers, everything is fine the way it is.
