FOTO FRIDAY....CARCASS
I came across this perfectly intact but clean carcass on an old logging road..... was in the Winter, but must have been for many months.....A Wolf-kill......The birds and insects did a thorough job of cleaning up......

 I had so many possibilities of photos for "C".......When I saw Kofla's "Clothespin" I thought of posting a photo of a loaded clothes-line, but then when I saw Star's blog about cemeteries, I remembered these photos .......in keeping with the theme.......This sentient being also deserves a memorial..........

 What a unique subject for the letter C..... that second picture gives a very unusual perspective. I'm surprised the bones were not scattered around.

Yes, me too, I was astonished that it was still intact.....I have come across many carcasses over the years, but never one that was still intact like this. I have participated in the building of many wooden boats, and I took the second photo fro that perspective because it looks so much like the stage of boat=building when you have fastened all the ribs in, but haven't planked it yet......I imagined how the Vikings were inspired by the clean-picked carcass of a whale stranded on the beach......

 Wow, that is unusual to find all the bones intact! A couple months ago we found the spinal remains of a wild pig and glad that was all we found. Would hate to run into one that was still alive!

 Eaten to the bone and clean as a whistle. Very interesting "C" photo.

 Wow! That is an unusual sight, I enjoyed seeing these pictures.
It only takes a drop of ink to make a million people think. There are many stories.

It's a deer....a Wolf kill.....Not Cougar, because they tear apart the carcass....

 Interesting shot. It's not a far stretch of the imagination to see how the Vikings' boatbuilding was inspired by clean picked carcasses of stranded whales. Marvellous :- )

    Quoting starwomyn:
    I have run into bare carcasses on several occasions when hiking. The turkey vultures were quite active.
Turkey Vultures here too....last Fall I was walking a trail through the forest and I disturbed a couple of vultures feeding close by among the trees. They were startled by me and started flapping their wings, but decided they were OK and went back to their food.......But the stench that came out of there when they flapped their wings.........Oooo Whee!!!!

 Wow Sparkle your photo is very unusual. Back in the day when I was growing up and living in an area with lots of trees and wild animals we would once in a while come across a carcass. We always had to make sure the chickens were locked up at night so the coyotes wouldn't get them. Our dogs were always outside so they would raise a ruckus if a wild animal came around.
