C23: death

Description

my first submission to the Neosynthesis Chronicle C23 : Forces of Nature

this is the corpse of a raccoon who died in a hollow willow tree in the greenbelt last spring. i believe he was a baby of my momma coon, a tough old girl who raises her litters every year in a tree that overhangs the trail back there. it is always such a blessing to watch her babies grow up every year, they are like a part of my own family. i don't intend this photo to be grotesque or anything but i figured i should put it in this category anyway incase it offends some people. i want it to be more a tribute to the short life this precious little baby had and the reality that is nature.

Incredible.

This is such a powerful photo.

It truly shows just how frail life is. The fact that it's a deteriorated baby-paw makes it all the more poignant and heart-wrenching.

Life really is but a mist of vapor.
I applaud this photo with accolades of high degree. :)
