A small lizard, part of a family of reptiles informally called skinks, rests on the roadway. At least I assume it’s a skink. I’ll leave the final identification to others. It’s under two or three inches in length.I encountered the critter at the top of this incline while walking in Henniker, New Hampshire.
In downsizing to a remote fishing village in Downeast Maine, this eclectic writer feels everything's coming together.

We find these little guys too. They are so cool. I used to have an iguana and so enjoyed looking at its gorgeous coloration.

If I placed my feet on that peaceful pathway, I’d never return 🙂

With its brilliant coloring, it reminds me of a mythical salamander, those glowing creatures who lived in fire.
Beautiful creature.
