Skinks
Skinks are a common and active subject for my photography, especially in the warm Arkansas climate. I document their diverse patterns and their quick movements. I capture their sunbathing behavior and their role as insect predators. I observe their interactions with their environment. I aim to show their adaptability and their importance in the local reptile community. Their varied colors and behaviors make them a dynamic subject.
