I've been a bit hesitant with placing this photo. My project is called a Deer a Day, and not 'this once was part of a deer' a day... I've been just as hesitant with buying the little antlers, because let me be clear, I really do not support killing deer (or any other animal) for their assets. Perhaps if the deer died a natural death it wouldn't be so sad, but there's no way of knowing if this is what happened to the one these antlers once belonged to unfortunately. So why did I take it with me? I wish I could explain, but something in me made me want to cherish it. Antlers are so beautiful and they made me feel closer to deer and nature. It might sound silly, and I am a little silly, but somehow I hope the deer these antlers once belonged to knows they are now being loved.. in some strange way...
