Dancing with the Devil


	Dancing with the Devil This is a Devils Claw that I had to deal with on one of our Canyon trips. Placed it on a rock an noticed it had a shadow that made it look like it had 4 claws instead of two so I though the shadow was dancing with the Devil. Taken at ISO 250, F/10 and 1/400 sec, handheld. For Bobby Goodman who also lives with these sticky Devils Claws. Emile Abbott

Super cool, Emile. We have those things too, they grab me around the ankle and scare me half to death until I look down and see what has ahold of me....LOL.
