Meet my friendly neighbourhood gecko! This guy is quite tiny and apparently is a pretty good mosquito annihilator!
I was watching him sit on the wall, and thought I would video him. However, he sat there thinking I AM  the wall.....I AM the wall! ......so there was no movement to record. I switched off the camera and turned my attention to other matters.
Suddenly there was a scurrying noise above my head. I quickly turned to check out my little guest, but he had slithered about 4 feet across the wall....(that's 1.22m for the younger set).....
I kept my attention riveted to this cunning creature!
I reached for my camera once again......and again, no movement!
I tried reasoning with him..

me: seriously?!? You moved, you were here and now you are there, YOU MOVED! Don't even try pretending you didn't move!
him: I am the wall, I am the wall
me: fine then! I am not looking (after all, I should be able to psyc out a lizard)
him: (obstinate creature that he is)....I am the wall.....
me: .....waiting.....waiting.......
me: (changing tactics to overcome feelings of defeat at the hands of one with so small a brain) ok, I am taking your picture!

So here he is folks......enjoy....
