Funny, I was just going to write what Gunta wrote! Such interesting images, makes me wonder what animal they come from. Do you know? Have a wonderful weekend!
Hello, Susan…based upon what I do know about the mammals that can be found in our canyons and mountains here, I’m going to guess that these are the remains of a deer…or possibly a smaller moose. I believe they are too large to be either coyote or mountain lion…and probably not a goat either, given where I found them. And thank you for the well-wishes for the weekend…I hope you get enough sun to melt a bit of your new snow…. 😉
The essence of life and its passing…thank you, Karen…and yes, the middle surfaces of the vertebrae do have a rather fungus-like appearance, don’t they?
I do so like the way you really get down to it…..literally on your hands and knees….and yet the crime scene is undisturbed…..very forensic…..and just lovely images.
An excellent study in natural recycling. Nothing goes to waste.

Dust to dust. It so fitting buried in the fallen leaves which are also returning to the earth. Great capture.
Have a good weekend!

Raw and beautiful. Some of those forms look like fungus.
