I love these gorgeous creation of nature. Intimidating yes, but aren’t they absolutely fascinating!!
I often come across them while bushwalking and they are quite common in Australia. My first tryst with water dragons was went I was calmly sitting on a rock, enjoying the view of the sea and blue skies, coaxing my husband to take one of those picture perfect travel photos.
So I sat there, with my hips swayed on one side, shoulders tiny bit tilted to hide flappy arms, fingers making the typical V sign. It was then I felt movement in the corner. Seems like I was obstructing the view of this big fella, who was lost in the milieu. My heart of course jumped out of my mouth as soon as I laid my eyes on his scaly skin.
But in the end I only ended up being an irritating Papparazzi, desperately chasing it to get the perfect shot. Up the rocks, into the foliage, braving cobwebs sticking to my face … not a pretty sight I tell you.
Seems they are pretty harmless shy creatures, if you ignore their scary scales.

why dont you have it as a pet 😉
You are much braver than me, Raji! How beautifully camoflagued that little fellow is.
You know I get scared to these creatures but looking at them facinates me… Your description makes the whole incidence even more beautiful!!!
Though I get scared of anything that looks like a lizard, still the picture looks nice and the way you have described the capturing of the perfect travel photo is hilarious 🙂

That looks like a giant lizard! I'm scared of all things with scales 😀
How awesome it is that you were able to get up close and personal with one. Sure glad he turned out to be harmless.

Anything that looks like a lizard I'd run away from 😛
OMG I am scared of all these things!!!
Anything that is called 'dragon' is awesome, in my opinion 😉
