My options are:
Salix gooddingii
Salix laevigata
Salix lasiolepsis

Too dense a vegetation to get closer for a better shot to ID beyond the genus, for me. The must lighter green of the under part of the leaves is intriguing.

I hope the photo is not too bad that this pretty lizard can't be identified. I think it was about 20 cm long. Could it be a Cnemidophorus tigris multiscutatus?

Still hoping to find out why those do not seem quite right for Collinsia heterophylla and what they might be.

I know I have seen it elsewhere and I don't like its scent but I don't think I know its name either.
