Paddling the Skeleton Coast

A deer skull on the shore of Horsetooth Reservoir

I had an unusual photo stop when paddling my Thunderbolt kayak on the Horsetooth Reservoir this afternoon. Somewhere on the west shore near Quarry Cove I found a deer skeleton. I spent more than half an hour photographing it. Now, I understand better Goergia O’Keeffe’s fascination with animal skulls which she used to collect and paint when living in New Mexico.

All pictures were shot as usual with Pentax Optio W10, but I would really love to have there my DSLR camera with a tripod.
