I encountered this male painted devil (Lacunicambarus ludovicianus) wandering a small urban seasonal wetland while I was searching for frogs to photograph. This was my first time seeing this Mississippi River floodplain native in such an urban area; the habitat is far less ideal than many other places I've seen them. Obviously it was enough for this adult crayfish to exist in.
I had never heard of it before, but scree is an accumulation of broken rocks at the bottom of a cliff or other steep rocky mass.

Another version tells that two Sioux boys wandered far from their village when Mato the bear, a huge creature that had claws the size of tipi poles, spotted them, and wanted to eat them for breakfast. He was almost upon them when the boys prayed to Wakan Tanka the Creator to help them. They rose up on a huge rock, while Mato tried to get up from every side, leaving huge scratch marks as he did. Finally, he sauntered off, disappointed and discouraged. The bear came to rest east of the Black Hills at what is now Bear Butte. Wanblee, the eagle, helped the boys off the rock and back to their village.

Every year, hundreds of climbers inch their way up Devil's Tower, clinging to the vertical cracks in the rock columns with their fingers and toes. From the ground they look like ants against the rock. To see two of them making their way up, use your cursor to look at the noted area, and view large. They're about 600 feet up. Tomorrow I'll have a close-up of the top climber. This was taken from the visitor center.

Devils Tower, also known as Mato Tipila, which means “Bear Lodge” in Lakota, is a volcanic neck that rises 1,267 feet from the Black Hills in northeastern Wyoming. It was the very first national monument in the United States, bestowed that designation by Teddy Roosevelt on September 24th, 1906. In recent years around one percent of the 400,000 annual visitors actually climbs the tower. We’ll get to how you do that in a later article.
Long before the tower was being recognized by the American government, Native tribes had geographical and cultural connections to it. They called it everything from ‘Aloft on a Rock’ (Kiowa) to ‘Grizzly Bear Lodge’ (Lakota). It wasn’t given its demonic name until Col. Richard Irving Dodge led an expedition through Wyoming in 1875. His interpreter botched the translation, calling it ‘Bad God’s Tower’, which was eventually shortened to Devils Tower.
There are two great legends regarding the tower and the unusual looking columns that bear a striking resemblance to claw marks. It’s no surprise that both the stories, from the Lakota Sioux and the Kiowa, involve a similar narrative. In the Lakota Sioux legend, six girls were out picking flowers when they were attacked and chased by bears. The Great Spirit felt bad for them, and raised the ground beneath their feet. The bears gave chase and attempted to climb the newly formed tower, but they couldn’t get to the top. The bears fell off, clawing the sides of the monolith.
The Kiowa legend follows a similar storyline but includes astrology as well. Seven little Kiowa girls were out playing, spotted by several giant bears, and were chased. The girls prayed to the Great Spirit, and sure enough the ground rose beneath them towards the Heavens. The bears tried to climb the rock but only managed to leave their deep claw marks on the sides. The girls reached the sky and were turned into the constellation Pleiades.

Devil's Kitchen is a slot in the rocky shoreline along the Marginal Way. It can be a fearsome place to photograph when the waves surge unpredictably up through the slot. On this day the tide was halfway out into calm seas and waves would still explode near the large center rock and push me back. The close walls on either side help to amplify the sound of the water just to increase the fear factor. High tide is shot from the walkway above the cliffs.

Oplopanax horridus
Devil’s Club, Alaska Ginsing or Hiker’s Bane. Oplapanax horridus means prickly ginseng. Watch out! There are thorns on the leaves and stem. A member of the ginseng family, the root of this plant cures a variety of ills and ailments.

Buon Weekend!
We started the morning on the north side of Lassen Volcanic National Park in Old Station. After a huge bowl of oatmeal at JJ's Cafe, we headed to Subway Cave nearby--a lava tube that is open to the public. Make sure you bring a flashlight and a jacket as its pitch dark and 46 degrees inside! Getting there early ensured that we had the place entirely to ourselves.
From there, we drove around the backside of the park, stopping in Westwood before we headed to the Drakesbad Guest Ranch, from where we were scheduled to go on a horseback ride. Though the original plan was to go to Terminal Geyser (a 3 hour ride), some of the guests arrived late necessitating a change in plans. Instead, we went out to Devil's Kitchen, the park's second largest display of geothermal features and only a 2 hour ride.
After the ride and the short hike down into Devil's Kitchen, we soaked in the hot springs at the Guest Ranch while hikers on the Pacific Crest Trail stocked up on their supplies.
The day ended with a fabulous pizza at Tantardino's Pizzeria in Lake Almanor Peninsula.
Also called Devil's walking stick, Oplopanax horridus. In some Pacific Northwest cultures, a piece of Devil's club hung over the doorway is said to ward off evil.

The above shot was taken in the Devil's Marbles Conservation Area during my trip to the Red Centre a few years ago. It is an amazing site with these boulders strewn across the otherwise flat landscape - perfect for capturing morning and evening light!

This was takem after a night of very heavy rain. The previous day, people were playing and swimming in the river!
Went a trip to Finnich Glen yesterday, its been a while since I was last there. Its not so easy getting down into the glen now the rope is gone and the steps are starting to fall away in the muddy conditions. You do get a bit messy too.
When I arrived around sunrise it was something like -4c and cold. Before I left some ladies came down for a swim at the deep pool beside the falls. Rather them than me.
