Searching (again) for Sycamore Falls

It’s been a few years since I last came out to the Sycamore Canyon area. I failed to find Sycamore Falls my first time out here, but felt I had a much better handle on it’s location this time around. I should know better than to be so cocky. I find the trailhead I was looking for, the Sycamore Rim Trail, and see a crude map that has the location to the Falls marked. It seemed like a pretty…

Sycamore Falls In Arizona, USA

[hometoursandotherstuff]

For the Craftsman lovers, this 1905 home in Globe, Arizona is perfectly preserved. No stupid modern black & white remodel, although the owner did make it her own. You'll see what I mean. (Lots of paint & wallpaper stripping.) 4bds, 2ba, $489K.

Okay, a Craftsman is traditionally earth tones, not pink with foo-foo drapes. I hope there's no wainscoting under that wallpaper, and I would like to take the carpet up. But, the pocket doors are there, the stone fireplace, etc. Nothing was removed or remodeled. By the looks of the dark soot, that's a working fireplace.

Look at this heavy original ceiling fixture.

Typical Craftsman book cases and columns divide the living and dining rooms.

Wainscoting is intact and so is the beautiful built-in china cabinet. The carpet does look fairly new, but there must be wood flooring under it.

The kitchen has the original tile walls, floor and even the ceiling. The cabinets are original, except that they painted them blue & white. I wonder if it would be worth it to strip them.

I'm thinking that the sink may have been by the window and they replaced it with that metal unit so they could fit in a dishwasher.

Completely original bath, but there goes the blue paint on all the wood.

Ah, you can see how nice the floor is under the carpet in this room. I love pink, but even I wouldn't have done this.

Off this bedroom is a wonderful stone sunporch. I don't know what's going on with the floor, but it looks like they laid down plywood sheets and painted them. Up they would come.

I like the wallpaper in here, but the pink clashes with the peach. And, that blue on the wood, again.

I think that this is a family room that they were using as a bedroom.

Creepy basement stairs and the stairs to the next level are side-by-side. (That carpet. It's everywhere.)

Looks like the attic was finished at a later date, but it's nice up here.

A typical feature of Craftsman is a built-in dresser.

Nice bedroom with the dormer alcove and built-in shelving.

This original bath looks great- no blue paint!

Looks like a little courtyard.

The lot measures .38 acre.

Iron Cross Blister Beetle (Tegrodera aloga)

Distribution: Found in Arizona, California and the Mexican state of Sonora.

Habitat: Found primarily in and around the Sonoran desert, as well as in sycamore woodlands. Frequently found in agricultural fields.

Diet: Feeds on the spring blossoms of desert plants such as sand sand bells, woollystars and alfalfa. Also feed on nectar.

Description: This brightly-colored beetle is, as can be assumed by its coloration, poisonous. When disturbed, iron cross blister beetles release cantharidin through their leg joints and antennal pores, which can cause nasty blisters when bare skin is exposed, and can also cause illness when ingested. This poison is rarely ingested by humans, but can be a serious danger to livestock, who may graze on plants that harbour this beetle. This beetle is also occasionally found in packaged leafy greens at the grocery store (such has been the case at least three times in Canada).

Cantharidin can have positive effects, too; its used as a topical medication to remove warts and tattoos, as well as for certain cancer treatments. Historically, beetles have been used as an aphrodisiac for this substance, as one of the symptoms of poisoning is priapism.

BOTD: Elegant Trogon

Photo: Dominic Sherony

"Since the 1890s, the possibility of seeing a trogon has lured birdwatchers to southern Arizona. With its brilliant metallic colors and odd croaking call, the Elegant Trogon brings an exotic touch to the wooded canyons and streamside sycamores where it lives. The observer who finds one may get to watch it at leisure: rather sluggish, the trogon may sit upright on one perch for several minutes."
