Parting Shot
Above: One spring while hiking with her parents (photographers Dan and Cindy Hartman) near their home in Silver Gate, 10-year-old Cassie Hartman spied this elk skeleton pinned beneath a fallen tree. Looking closer, the family found where a branch spike on the tree appeared to have impaled the animal's vertebra.
"I had my camara and tripod with me," says Cassie,"and I thought it might be a good picture." After circling the scene to find the right angle and lighting, she decided on this composition. At first glance it appears to be just antlers among flowers, but a closer look reveals the tree, inviting speculation: Did it actually kill the bull, and, if so, what are the odds of something like that occurring? Or did the bull die of anouther cause,and then the tree fell later on the carcass?
"I'm pretty sure the tree landed on the elk and killed it," says Cassie."That's why I thought this was such an interesting picture."
Cassies Marten
I spotted this marten climbing through the trees below our cabin. I shot a roll but was only able to get a few of them sharp, as he is very quick. This is my favorite.
