This week's late entry is for the letter
S.
Sis for
Skeleton and
Skulls.
In his youth my husband collected
skulls and
skeletons. He gathered any he could find on his country walks. He even picked up small corpses, and buried them until they rotted clean.
We have very few left now, although his collection was carefully documented and recorded, and the drawings and notes still exist.
This first photo is of the
skeleton of a Guillemot, a sea bird, carefully assembled from the bones found above a beach.
The
skull in the second photo belonged to another sea bird, a Gannet this time.
This rather stronger
skull once belonged to a fox.
All the above photos were taken by my husband - on my kitchen work-surface!
