My take on the Devil's Golfcourse. An often over-photographied piece of Death Valley landscape. This image is actually done almost entirely in-camera, including the red sky (with a filter).
In an effort to emulate the amazing photography of Igor Siwanowicz photo.net/photos/siwanowicz I posed my Devil Flower Mantis.
Still having momentum from the recent Seattle trip, I made way up to Devil's Lake Wisconsin with my friend Bryan yesterday. It's about a 3 and a half hour trip from Chicago and it didn't dissapoint. This shot was the very first one that I took, with the sun still high enough to peak through the trees.

Devil's Club, Oplopanax horridus, grows in moist areas all over the Pacific Northwest. On occasion I have had to pull thorns of this plant from my hands. Often after returning home. Thorns break off easy and are sometimes below the skin level. Photo taken along, the around the lake trail at Lost Lake Oregon near Mount Hood.
Another small creature...With a large name!
The Latin species name olens, meaning smelling, refers to the two white stinking glands on the abdomen.[4] This beetle has been associated with the Devil since the Middle Ages.[1] Hence its common name, which has been used at least since 1840.[5] Other names include Devil's footman, Devil's coachman and Devil's steed. It is sometimes also known as the cock-tail beetle[6] for its habit of raising its abdomen. One dictionary proposed the name developed in parallelism with ladybird and its Norse cognates.[7] In Irish, the beetle is called dearga-daol[8] or darbh-daol.[9] British folklore has it that a beetle has eaten the core of Eve's apple, and that a person who crushes such beetle is forgiven seven sins

Remove unwanted tattoos and put past memories where they should be – in the past…
Fade tattoos in little as a few weeks without the pain and expense of laser tattoo removal…
Without spending hundreds or thousands of dollars over months or years of laser sessions!
Of these techniques sound new to you, you should know that many of them are as old as tattoos themselves! After all, our ancestors from 2,000 years ago didn't want to mark their bodies forever. So as they came up with the ink, they came up with the removal methods as well.
The modern ingredients we find at the grocery store are both safe and highly effective for helping flush out unwanted skin ink.

It's time to put that unwanted tattoo behind you, and move on with your life.
The moral theology of the devil starts out with the principle: “Pleasure is sin.” The he goes on to work it the other way: “All sin is pleasure.”
After that he points out that pleasure is practically unavoidable and that we have a natural tendency to do things that please us, from which he reasons that all our natural tendencies are evil and that our nature is evil in itself. And he leads us to the conclusion that no one can possibly avoid sin, since pleasure is inescapable.
After that, to make sure that no one will try to escape or avoid sin, he adds that what is unavoidable connot be a sin. Then the whole concept of sin is thrown out the window as irrelevant, and people decide that there is nothing left except to live for pleasure, and in that way pleasures that are naturally good become evil by de-ordination and lives are thrown away in unhappiness and sin.
Thomas Merton, The Moral Theology of the Devil
The name ‘Devil’s Hole’ is a dramatic one but was only invented in the 19th century.
Formerly it was called ‘Le Creux de Vis’ or Spiral Cave on the island of Jersey.
One possible derivation for its modern name is connected with the shipwreck of a French boat in 1851.
Its figurehead was thrust by the tide straight into the hole and a local sculptor transformed the torso into a wooden devil, complete with horns.
Today this devil’s metal replica stands in a pool on the way down to the crater, lending a peculiarly supernatural atmosphere to the winding path down to the Devil’s Hole itself.
Tasmanian Devil (Sarcophilus harrisii). This little guy was running around its enclosure at Healesville Sanctuary. Looks cute and fluffy...
I think this is a devil scorpionfish rather than a stonefish.
Most of the time devil scorpionfish ( like stonefish) lie immobile and are so well camoflaged they are not easily noticed. They are ambush predators which lunge at passing fish and gulp them down.
If threatened they will erect a row of venomous spines along their back. (It seems the venom of the devil scorpionfish may be less painful and dangerous than that of the stonefish but I have no wish to test that out).
A Devil captured at Cradle Mountain, Tasmania.
The devil is a Tasmanian icon. It is the world's largest surviving carnivorous marsupial and its famous toothy gape and spine-chilling screeches set it apart from other wildlife. Devils are nocturnal and live in coastal heath, open dry sclerophyll forest, and mixed sclerophyll-rainforest. Generally they shelter by day and find food at night. Notable scavengers, they roam considerable distances in their quest for food. Devils completely devour their prey and are famous for their rowdy communal feeding at carcasses. They eat a variety of insects, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. The species is listed as endangered under the Tasmanian Threatened Species Protection Act 1995 and is wholly protected.
