Strange days in the Forest!

We’ve had a couple of days now that the fog won’t lift at all. Very odd! But it does make for some unique photo opportunities.

But the real state of things these last couple of days has been all about the smell… and all the scattered pieces of death.

These delectable morsels were scattered over a very wide territory. Each one was surrounded by an aggressive aura of death-stench… which of course had Sitka wanting to eat them all… which is actually preferable than having her roll in them. Sitka is undeniably stinky today!

I’m sending a shout-out to all my friends of the Turkey Vulture persuasion. “Where are you guys!” It’s not that cold; we could use your excellent housekeeping skills; the Forest is a mess!

If it wasn’t the middle of winter, Turkey Vulture would be all over the scene, gobbling up all the nasties before the dogs can get to them. Turkey Vulture can smell even the tiniest fraction of the hint of death from… well, Jupiter. But alas, their bald little heads which look like an elbow with road rash would get too frosty… so I guess we’re left with the stink.

At this point you may have realized that there’s very little spiritual philosophy coming through this post. Sometimes it’s just mundane Forest life.

Barbed!

Barbed!

And here’s some niceties from when the fog finally lifted…
