Scrounging For Antlers

Scrounging for Antlers  


 Two men at the Sportman's Show, appreciated the  artful fall arrangement 
for sale.     
   One remarked,  tipping back his camoflauge cap,  "I like this one with the rusty saw and the shed deer antler! I wonder if the lady will sell the  deer antler separate."


When my husband 
 and I lived in Montana, we   hiked up to the top of the Madison River Buffalo Jump  late in the summer.  The  mountainous terrain was  mostly tan rock, tan grass, tan sage, and a tan teepee ring.  On our  way down, making our way through a tan gully,  I happened upon a pile of pheasant feathers and had the urge to decorate.   "Color!" I explained.
