Circle of Life

King of the woods, huge antlers, no obvious injuries, lying peacefully amongst the trees and toadstools.

All part of The Circle of Life as in The Lion King.

Oh, how sad to come up on this in the woods! Although we know it happens it’s still sad to see! I like your composition with the fungi in the foreground.

[Ellen Bogenschutz]

Mmmm, sad, but natural.

[moni kozi]

Well, nature taking its course should be as glorious as all tjose autumn forest shots. Only it's not...

[Susan Wakely]

So sad. Always surprised that we do not see more dead animals on our travels.

[Mags]

Sad sight but a very nice story telling capture.

[KoalaGardens🐨]

[Monica]

So sad but true

[LManning (Laura)]

From its looks and your talk of the circle of life, I suspect this deer is not taking a nap.

[Kathy A]

Very sad, I hope it was a peaceful death
