Dead things!


More encounters with nature...

In a moment reminiscent of Frodo and Sam's journey through the Dead Marshes (but much less creepy), we noticed two deer skeletons in the pond outside the house. One has a pretty complete upper jaw, some vertebrae and a scapula, and even seems to still have some fur attached. The second is much less complete. We also found what we think is another deer skull in the woods near the fields behind the barn, but it's a little hard to tell since it's so worn and it's missing pieces...

Here's a picture of the skull in the water!
