Gecko!

When I first got back to Doha I was swamped with work. Then this last 4-5 days I have been sick. Those are my excuses for not writing. And good excuses they are.

But tonight I spotted this gecko in my car park - finally I feel better and something really worthy to write about as well! It is only the second wild native creature other than an insect, bird, or fish that I have seen. The other was a larger lizard about a foot long or so.

He is a tiny little fellow only about an inch long and was almost transparent on the wall until I turned the glare of the flash of my camera upon him. Poor little guy. I hope the cats don't catch him. There are cats all over the place here.
