Your welcome, LauraLOVESbirds....thank you, for your beautiful explanation....you are one, with Mother Nature....the death of one, brings life to another....
Thank you maplemoth. I understand it may seem unpleasant to some, but food chains (now called food webs, I think) and death are very much part of life. And Mother Nature and/or God were brilliant when they created things like maggots, vultures, carbon cycles, etc who use the death of one as food/life for others! - not to mention what a mess our world could be if Nature did not have these built in cleanup services! :)
Two, very interesting photos....two, educational photos....
