My father always said it was a good idea to have your neighbors think you’re a little cuckoopants. Like, not full-bore batshit, because then they’ll KEEP AN EYE ON YOU, but just crazy enough that they know not to like, throw trash on your yard or encroach on your land like land parasites. I dunno if this counts, but by our driveway near our house there sits a stump, and on this stump sits a deer skull I found in the woods because, I dunno, skulls are fucking cool that’s why.
Anyway, so, I thought I’d snap some more pics of GLORIOUS SKELEDEER ALL HAIL THE LORD OF THE DEAD WOOD, some of which are macros. I like photographing bones and death and dead things, and as a point of trivia, I once crawled underneath and damn near into a decomposing deer to capture a shot. No, really, here is that shot. And here’s another one, a bit closer.
Anyway, please to enjoy:

I have skulls on the walls, and animal leg bones to prop up windows, and a sign saying the property is protected by snakes.

I’m a white girl in the projects. I have let my neighbors think I’m a witch. I’m left on peace.

Especially love the last photo, from that close it looks like hieroglyphs carved into the bone.

Here in South-Africa we had one guy put a coffin, yes a COFFIN in his front yard near the gate. He was just fed up with all the break-ins and crime so he decided to put a stop to it. Crazy but it worked lol! I actually found an article … here ya go! http://www.bdlive.co.za/national/2014/09/19/forget-high-tech-gadgets-crime-hit-south-africans-go-for-coffins

I’ve always loved the patterns made by the joins. They look like maps, or river deltas seen from space.

Glad to know I’m not alone – although my photos are more of the damage done inside the skull by a .22 bullet…

You clearly don’t have dogs. Mine would regard that as one tasty crunchy treat. They don’t have much sense for the aesthetic.

That’s so cool! I’ve never seen the way skullbones fit together so close up before, they’re like puzzle pieces! Well, if puzzle pieces were designed to make you suffer 🙂

So glad I stumbled on this AFTER lunch. But, cool shots, none the less.

I have one of these, too. I keep it on a table near my pond. I pretend it intimidates the squirrels. They just laugh.
