21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Splendid Yellow-Headed Agama Lizard Finally Stood Still

I visited the Kakum National Park near the coast of Cape Coast, Ghana. Most folks walk along the challenging Canopy Bridge Trail. I, instead, entertained myself chasing brightly colored lizards with camera in hand. These spectacularly marked reptiles scoot around fast and far, a challenge for a camera's shutter speed.
