Eastern Water Skink and Dragonfly. I was sitting alongside the local river watching several of these very alert Skinks seemingly lazying around on the rocks at the waters edge, seems that if truth be known, they're real motive was not so much rest, but hoping to snatch up one of the Dragonflies buzzing around. This little lizard got lucky and leapt up and grabbed his lunch on the wing, sadly I didn't get that action, but did manage to get a couple of shots before he/she disappeared into the reed beds.
