Southern France
Lynn Deasy is a freelance writer, author, foodie, and garden tinkerer. She lives in a 600 year old house in southern France with her husband, Christophe. Currently, she is looking for a literary agent for her memoir CA VA? STORIES FROM RURAL LIFE IN SOUTHERN FRANCE which examines the oddities of French provincial living from an outsider’s point of view through a series of adventures that provide more than a fair share of frustration, education, admiration, and blisters…. yes, lots and lots of blisters. Lynn blogs every Monday, Wednesday, and sometimes Friday.

Do you know what this is?

What is this?  No, this is not a “pull my finger game”; I really don’t know.  Clearly, it’s a lizard, but what kind?  We’ve asked our local nature expert, Madame Gousse, and she has no idea.  It moves very fast, and this is the best photo I’ve been able to take of it.  We find it on our terrace, and it has been spotted twice outside our bedroom window, but never have we seen it elsewhere it the village.  Is it a dominate predator decimating the endangered green lizards and salamanders indigenous to the area?  Is a link to a prehistoric past?  Is it a crazy mutant with super powers? What the heck is the creature?
