Animals in my yard

In addition to plant life, my backyard is also home to a variety of animals.

It's hard to capture some of the wild life with my camera but i got lucky! i got some really cool pictures of a bee pollinating our basil:

The third picture is so cool. It was almost hypnotized by the rhythmical way the bee went from flower to flower pollinating each. Fun to see.

 This is one of our 2 hummingbird feeders. Impossible to catch one on camera but i assure you, we have a lot of hummingbird visitors each day. They're very territorial so it's entertaining to see them duke it out for a sip of nectar

See if you can find the lizards and geckos in these pictures. It's like Where's Waldo, except in real life....and with lizards....not a guy in a striped shirt. It's tough to spot lizards in my yard but they are EVERYWHERE. they sun bathe all day long so as soon as you go outside you see them sprint out of view

• This relates to environmental science because it's an example of human's and wild life coexisting, even in a mutually beneficial symbiotic way. We need to coexist because sharing the outdoors isn't exactly a choice :)
