Brown anole who fell in love with a fairy!
Cardinal getting territorial with itself in this mirror. It was doing the same thing last week too. It spends a not-insignificant amount of time battling itself.
Found by a neighbor early afternoon on Oct. 10, 2016, hanging out on an outside wall of an apartment building in (East) Oakland, CA 94605

These are very grumpy meat balls on 4 legs: spending most of their lives underground, then emerging to feast on swarming termites with the first heavy rains before going underground again (well, with a little reproductive activity in-between).
We first discovered 2 frogs on a sandy dirt road, but a few metres onwards there were dozens of them!
Thanks to Tyrone Ping for permission to use them to add to the GRBG Project.
