There is something about sculptures that often affects me more deeply than other types of art. I love the way that a three dimensional sculpture lets you look at a piece from different angles and see it in different ways. I especially enjoy outdoor sculptures and I spent longs hours at the outdoor garden of the Rodin Museum during a trip to Paris a few years.
As I was wandering along an informal trail at my local marshland park recently, I came upon a piece of bone that a beautiful organic shape. As I held it in my hands, it reminded me of an abstract sculpture. It may be from a deer and is perhaps a vertebra, though I must confess that I don’t know animal anatomy at all and could be completely wrong.
The shapes and the textures of this miniature organic sculpture really fascinate me as I view them from different angles.

I like finding things like that too, Mike. I agree that they can be very beautiful. Certainly not something that you see every day.
I was really taken by the Rodin Museum. The pieces in the garden were so amazing.
I like that you honor this as a sculpture.
It is a vertebra and one from a large animal. I love finding things like that too.
Bone is wonderful subject matter for photography!
