The Natural World


I've had this tableau tucked in a corner for several years.  So, I got it out, cleaned it up, added a few more things and Voila.  I consider myself something of a naturalist; look and find all sorts of things on the farm and read about them.  My sister calls me Mother Earth.


Had trouble photographing this guy, but the red changes colors from different angles.




Isn't he a beaut? Would have loved to see his wings extended, but this is the way I found him.


Screech Owl skull with his right ocular bone nearby.  They are really tiny under all those feathers.  The sound  they make is like a woman screaming.


Some type of shorebird or tern.


This is a baby snake skeleton which was nearly impossible to photograph.



So this is where it ended up; crowns my new ikea medical cabinet.


Now all I need to do is fill the cabinet.
