This is a shot taken by my daughter that has been sitting on my computer for two years. I don't think she'll mind. I've encouraged her to make a photo blog as she gets really great shots that should be shared.
I always liked this shot even though it is kind of morbid. It's is not a sight we often see. I love the green weed providing a bit of colour though that in itself might bug some people.

Somewhere in my piles and piles and piles of disorganized photos I have a picture of a dead fox in the grass. Somewhere in my contact sheets are shots of a dead possum in the road. Death is a reality--good for your daughter for not flinching.
Mary MacADNski: She didn't flinch over that but show her a spider......I have a spider's nest in the archives from just a few weeks ago that I wouldn't have been able to take while she still lived here. She picks her fears.
It is an interesting shot and conjures up a lot of thoughts, e.g. how it died. Or how does a bird die of old age - does it just stop flying in midair or fall of the perch it was sitting on. Does birds have the equivalent of heart attacks and such ailments?
Mary MacADNski: Good questions. She came across it on a rocky beach when she was on vacation in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.
Interesting shot, I have been tempted to take a shot of a dead Kangaroo but resisted the urge.
Mary MacADNski: You certainly see a lot of those and I remember wombats being particul;arly interesting because they bloated unlike anything I'd ever seen.
How old is your daughter, Mary? Good for her for taking interest in photography and capturing something that obviously was "curious" to her. I'm sure all your own photo-taking is like mentoring her, whether she realizes it or not.
Mary MacADNski: She's almost 24, Ginnie. She certainly grew up with a camera around and she has a good eye.
