Skeletons



Just a few pictures of skeletons from my trip 
to the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History.
They are just exquisite.

Have a look at the most bizarre and curious creatures 
on the Morbid Anatomy blog.

Exquisite is the perfect word to describe these photos. Thank you so much for sharing them with us Holly! The colors are wonderful and there is nothing I like more than visiting Natural History museums. Skeletons are most fascinating :)

Geninne, you are so sweet to stop by! I could stay there for days! Two years ago I accompanied my aunt while she was doing research on the teeth of primates. I got to open up all of the little drawers from the collection and peek inside. It was amazing!

i agree-exquisite-something very ethereal about bones....

Hello dear Laura! You are just steps away from these beauties...I'm jealous!

Fascinating Holly! I haven't dropped by for a while and I took a long look(I am sorry I have been crazy busy!), but I do want to say your fantasy gardens are a real delight!
