The English language is amusingly odd isn't it ?

@DDonde Yes but they tickle my fancy so I use them when I please.

@Wraithorn I do like "Murder" for crows.

@DDonde Yeah, that's a cool one although it's sort of discrimination to crows. 🙂
My fave is the lounge of lizards. I can't help imagining them just lounging around.

@Wraithorn They do like to lounge around in the sun sometimes.

@cherokeepatti True that. So it's appropriate I suppose.

@Wraithorn I got some sand from a sand pile at work one time, the worker shoveled it up into the bucket, took it home and used it. The next time I got in the car one of the car lot lizards was in the back of my SUV trying to escape. They love to go to the little sand pile and lay in the sun in the morning, they have holes to hide in other times.

@cherokeepatti Oh wow. That lizard probably went back to it's family and told them a terrifying story about being abducted by Humans. 🙂

@Wraithorn I hope he found a place he was comfortable with around here. Kind of felt sorry for him losing his lizard friends and all.

@cherokeepatti Oh right, sorry. I didn't comprehend what you said properly. Well at least it survived I suppose.

@Wraithorn We used to have a lot of horned lizards (horny toads) around this area and hardly ever see one any more...had one in the yard and after the drought of 2011-2012 that wiped out the ant colony haven’t seen a one. It’s sad, used to catch and play with them when we were kids...if they get scared their defense is squirting a red liquid at you from above their eyes...never happened to me but did to my sister one time.

@cherokeepatti I've heard about that defense of theirs. It's one of mother nature's really weird things.

@Wraithorn the “horns” on their back look sharp but they aren’t. Used to run my hand over them, they don’t stick a bit. They would eat a huge amount of red ants (the big ones that have a painful bite like a bee sting) so we always loved to have them around.
