::FOUND::

My husband came across this coyote skull while off exploring in the woods.  Judging by the way the bone of the lower jaw has grown over spots where teeth should be, this particular coyote may have lived a long life.  What a beautiful specimen of a gorgeous creature!

New in the Etsy Shop - Wilderness Card Set

This little set of cards is the first item in my shop to use my newly developed band!  I am not sure if everyone gets as excited about packaging as I do, but I couldn't wait to post these pictures with the new band!  Jeff and I worked on getting this design out over the weekend, and I think that it is just as cute as can be.  Take a look...

Study of bones and teeth

My husband comes across many animal skulls, teeth, and more in his work as a wetland biologist.  While he finds more than he could bring home, he has quite a collection going on in the curio cabinet his home office, the room we call his "home laboratory."  Many of his field findings are quite beautiful, and it is interesting to imagine the life that these animals led in the wild.  I snapped these photos today as part of a natural history series for decorating his space.  I think that they turned out well.
