The (y) is for your picture, not the climate change. A week ago, I was riding my mountain bike in t shirt and shorts, today we received 15 cm of snow.
Fully understood.
And of course in Canada weather changes sometimes much faster than in Central Europe, thanks to our Alps blocking North-South streams.

I posted some bird photos from my trip to the Galapagos in the two bird threads but I found this thread which is appropriate to many of the Galapagos inhabitants including these handsome boys or beautiful girls. More can be found at my website at https://www.photowilderness.com/p636321408

If a friend of mine and I am right, then these are common wall lizards (podarcis muralis).
Quite un-common to meet those in the "Rhododendron-Park" (German Page), Bremen, Northern Germany.
In Germany, they usually live in the Rhein rift and at the Main river.
But I've read that they travel in freight trains from Southern Europe to northern regions.

Some more of those.
The second one is hilarious, as the fire bug was really having fun bugging the lizard until it withdrew. It seemed it knew well that it wouldn't end up in its stomach.
Note that on the fourth are three of them. My guess was that there was a population of at least 20 individuals.
The last one is my personal fav.
