Travels with the Blonde Coyote 
that’s scary…walking with bones around… 🙂
I’m not sure that I wouldn’t be worried that I might be the next set of bones – but then I am a bit of a wuss!! Where did you get the blonde Coyote? Is she / he formerly wild? (I’m sure you’ve explained this somewhere…)
The skull in the tree put me in mind of a warning. Kind of scary, really.
I like the shots and the Tattoo!
Funny you all see something ominous in the bones. I always feel lucky when I come across a skeleton, like I’ve caught a glimpse of some wild thing’s secret life. Death is a part of life and all those bones provided many good meals to other wild things. The Big Horn sheep was probably my favorite.
I love bones, I see nothing ominous in them. When I come across some I feel like I’ve been given a gift. You have a great collection (in your photographs). I am inspired by your post to go through my photos and make a post of my own- hope you don’t mind! Thank you for sharing these.

An interesting trawl through a world I first saw in Disney’s Living Desert, (yes, people do get that old!)
Too much to do all in one sitting – I will be back – Go well.
