This blister beetle is sacred to the Navajo.  Its presence signals rain, and if you should accidently step on one, you will surely break a pot within a day or suffer the consequences.  This specimen was photographed near Navajo Reservoir, northern New Mexico.

The Jerusalem Cricket is a large flightless insect with a painful bite.  It is capable of regenerating legs.  Navajo refer to this as the "skull insect" and Franciscan priests, translating the language, may have come to associate this term with the hill of the skull (Cavalry) where Jesus was crucified outside of Jerusalem. This insect can grow to a length of up to 2" under favorable conditions.

Completely unrelated to the old world antelope, this is the only surviving member of the family Antilocapridae.  During the Pleistocene, there were 12 species roaming the vast wilderness of North America.  When man first arrived on the continent, only 5 remained extant.  Today there is only this single remarkably successful and resilient species.  Here is an example of a defensive strategy, combined with 50 mile per hour running speed, that has allowed this creature to thrive.

Western Colorado and Eastern Utah were once occupied by a people who varied their life style with the climate.  During wet periods they would build and settle into permanent structures and become farmers. During dry climatic periods they would simply up root and revert to their earlier nomadic hunter-gatherer lifestyle.  They were at all times fierce warriors and notorious head hunters.  They have left their mark on many overhung surfaces throughout their territory.

As the people of the Southwest emerged from the Archaic, there began a tradition of building square towers and round kivas in caves and overhangs that would lead them to achieve the architectural masterpieces of Chaco Canyon and Mesa Verde just a few centuries later. This is one of those precursors to greatness.

This lone guardian, composed of columnar basalt, stands watch above  Carnero Creek west of the La Garita community in the San Louis Valley of Southern Colorado.  The eruption that created the La Garita Caldera is among the largest known explosive eruptions in earth's history, ejecting enough material to fill Lake Michigan.  This occurred  about 28 million years ago, leaving exposed remnants such as this as mute testament to slow cooling.
