I barely notice how time is flying here! It's Halloween weekend and and then it's November! Midterms and crunch time for fellowship applications so no rest for me!
There is a bright red tree outside my window that is really enthusiastic for Autumn.
This is an Eastern Blue-tongued Lizard, Tiliqua scincoides scincoides (skink-like, hence the name scincoides), to your left. They puff up when threatened and stick out their tongues and hiss at you! Adorable. They are popular pets in Australia where they are common. I think I would like to have one if I lived there. I don't really like reptiles as pets but these guys are cute and seem affable enough. Look at their little feet...
Maybe I could wear a mottled brown sweater and eat a blue popsicle and show up to a party as a blue-tongued lizard. Now there's an easy costume idea!
