Prompt #1: Life of a Lizard

Congratulations and many thanks to Joyful for this prompt suggestion:

What if you were able to be a lizard on a rock on Orient(al) Beach in St. Maarten's for a day?  What would that feel like?

The sun is deliciously hot against my cool skin.  I crane my neck toward the sky, reveling in the warmth that bathes my reptilian face.  I blink against the brightness and lower my gaze.  The ocean laps calmly against the sea-worn stone I perch upon, wetting my feet and belly.  A balmy breeze, the earth's exhalation, caresses beach goers and critters alike. My round eyes settle on a nude sunbather, sand glittering on her ample pink skin.  These humans enjoy the sun too.  I whip my tail into the temperate water.  This is bliss.
