Very striking photo!

Not sure what the animal is/was. Possibly a horse? Or a deer?

Excellent capture.

This is actually inside the township's city limits. Had she been hit by that car a 100 yards down the street the county would have picked her up and put her in the landfill. Pelican Bay believes in letting nature take it's course so we let the vultures feast.

It's a bit unpleasant in the short run but just fits with the lifestyle here. I live in a treehouse located in a Nature Preserve.

Your photos of dead leaves have a similar effect. I'm next posting something that might complement this photo.
