I found this plant in my own neighborhood and think it is a type of flowering one. It grows different color flowers that are blueish purple or a reddish pink. Additionally, it has little clusters of sticky brown pieces surrounding the flowers. It also grows extremely large and wide.

I think this is a type of succulent. I would compare it to an ice plant because I think it looks similar but it doesn’t have the flowers that they do. I see this plant often here in Southern California and it’s usually in dryer areas.

I think I saw a certain type of lizard while I was walking around a trail at a park. It was near bushes and rocks. There were more on top of the rocks and crawling under it. It has a long, thin tail and was about the size of average garden lizard that I’ve seen before in my backyard. However, I think it’s different due to its color and pattern of its skin.
