We have just retuned from a week in the stunning Cairngorms, the weather wasn't great but we made the most of it none the less.
Here is one of the species of fungi we thought we may be a little late for. With some advice from a friend we managed to find a few specimens of this Devils Tooth, fortunately this one was still in good shape!
We then bumped into a very nice chap who turned out to be a local recorder of toothed fungi. He proceeded to show us dozens more specimens and half a dozen more species of toothed fungi. Unfortunately they had all gone their best but he invited us back up in the coming years and promised to show us around. He has also sent us an excellent guide he co-wrote to toothed fungi of the Cairngorms.
- www.kevin-palmer.com - While hiking off-trail around Devils Tower, I encountered several deer. They were barely afraid of me at all, and let me get pictures with the tower in the background.
A dust devil outside Tucson, Arizona.
A dust devil is a strong, well-formed, and relatively long-lived whirlwind, ranging from small (half a meter wide and a few meters tall) to large (more than 10 meters wide and more than 1000 meters tall). The primary vertical motion is upward. Dust devils are usually harmless, but can on rare occasions grow large enough to pose a threat to both people and property.
They are comparable to tornadoes in that both are a weather phenomenon of a vertically oriented rotating column of wind. Most tornadoes are associated with a larger parent circulation, the mesocyclone on the back of a supercell thunderstorm. Dust devils form as a swirling updraft under sunny conditions during fair weather, rarely coming close to the intensity of a tornado.
Dust devils form when hot air near the surface rises quickly through a small pocket of cooler, low-pressure air above it. If conditions are just right, the air may begin to rotate. As the air rapidly rises, the column of hot air is stretched vertically, thereby moving mass closer to the axis of rotation, which causes intensification of the spinning effect by conservation of angular momentum. The secondary flow in the dust devil causes other hot air to speed horizontally inward to the bottom of the newly forming vortex. As more hot air rushes in toward the developing vortex to replace the air that is rising, the spinning effect becomes further intensified and self-sustaining. A dust devil, fully formed, is a funnel-like chimney through which hot air moves, both upwards and in a circle. As the hot air rises, it cools, loses its buoyancy and eventually ceases to rise. As it rises, it displaces air which descends outside the core of the vortex. This cool air returning acts as a balance against the spinning hot-air outer wall and keeps the system stable.
Have you ever seen anything like this?
It's called Devils Postpile National Monument - located near Mammoth Mountain in California. These unique and natural columns were formed roughly 100,000 years ago: thanks to volcanoes and lava flows.
Also interesting is that the Postpile was once a part of Yosemite National Park - but the discovery of gold in 1905 near Mammoth Lakes prompted a boundary change that left the formation on adjacent public land.

Shown is an entry point to the Devils Springs in Ginnie Springs. This small spring run incorporates several individually named spring vents, which makes it one of the more popular locations at Ginnie Springs. Ginnie Springs, located on the Sante Fe River near High Springs, FL., is a premier springing location owing to its numerous swimmable springs and camping opportunities directly on the water.
This is close to the entrance of Devils Arse. I kid you not! According to the information board, its the largest entrance chamber in the UK, no idle boast.
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.
Finally got around to the Devil's Punchbowl photo portion of the 8/4/2019 Photo Tour. It was the last part - tide heading to its low point - and I was tired, and there were a lot of people clustered along the railing (limiting photo angles). Had to really modify all 3 photos to keep them in different ways. This one: no crop, but exposure down a bunch, saturation way up, definition up quite a bit, blue/yellow balance a bit more towards the yellow than usual (my photo editor usually suggests a little bit towards yellow anyhow.
This Devil is part of our team logo. My "team" is comprised of Wanda, Cody, Christi and myself. We have really slacked off over Winter (and Christi is hardly ever around when we go) but I try really hard to make sure everyone is included in stuff like this!
"I am (Comic Imp Card). Who the devil are you?"
A card pasted in a Victorian-era "Agent's Sample Book" that was issued by an unidentified calling card company.
I also have a blank copy of this card without the "Comic Imp Card" description or a name. See I Am ________, Who the Devil Are You? (below).
For an example of another card that was in the "Agent's Sample Book," see Fireman's Card (below).
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.
The confluence of Porcupine Creek and Devil Canyon with the Bighorn River and Bighorn Canyon at the Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area, a National Park Service unit that straddles the Montana-Wyoming State line between the Pryor and Bighorn Mountain ranges. The Devil Canyon Overlook, which is only accessible from the south entrance near Lovell, WY (there is no through-road from the north to south end of the National Recreation Area) offers a number of views of the Bighorn River 1000 to 1500 feet below as it flows north through the third largest canyon in the United States.

Devils Fork Creek flows thru hollowed out sandstone. I wish I had taken more time photographing this area, but even though we were there very early its still an effort to get a shot before others arrive
The broad Zambezi river pours into the wide crevasse that is Victoria Falls, and then exits through a narrow passage, turns under the bridge, and then flows on downstream in a zig-zagging pattern deep below the steep canyon walls. For the past 100,000 years the falls have been receding upstream as the river erodes softer sandstone filling deep cracks in the basalt rock.
Bungee jumping off the Victoria Falls Bridge shown here is available for the adventuresome.
Anybody who has flown into or out of Denver has to have seen the 32' (10 m), 9000-lb (4100 kg) sculpture at DIA titled "Blue Mustang" by late artist, Luis JimƩnez. It is outside on a grass knoll near the terminal. People have mixed emotions about the art. Many love it, while others detest it. The work has garnered nicknames such as Devil Horse, DIAblo, Satan's Stallion and the Denver Demon Mustang. The statue's blue fiberglass color, flaring nostrils and brightly lit, red LED eyes certainly add to the drama.
There is a disturbing true story attached to many of those names. The artist was killed in his studio when a piece of the statue fell on him as he was working to complete it. This has some people claiming the statue is possessed.
JimƩnez was a controversial artist, and if part of the purpose of art is to create dialogue and comment, then "Blue Mustang" has certainly succeeded in that regard.
At any rate, I thought Halloween was an ideal time for this photo and the story that goes along with it. The image is a composite of a recent full moon photo I took and an evening image of the statue from a few nights ago.
Panorama over the rock formations of Devils Garden, Utah. The diffuse look of the stars is due to high-level clouds in the area.

Descend down the 100ft gorge via the Devils Steps to the Devil's Pulpit. A circular red sandstone rock which was carved by the waters of the Carnock Burn.
In Outlander Finnich Glen was the location for St Ninians Spring, also know as Liar's Spring.
Should I wear this really short dress? Two little voices in my head were arguing about this, Guess which one won?
As soon as the weather starts to improve, the family head up for a stroll to the Devil's Dyke, an area of the South Downs steeped in legend and history. Today, the weather was weird. We started out with a clear, crisp sunset. Then the sea fog started to roll in. When we could no longer see ten feet in front of our faces, we deemed it time to pack up and come home.
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.
