I'm Onyx, 25 and from Worthing, a crappy little seaside town in southern England. This blog is mostly for my photos, drawings, and other randomness.
Interests include animals, particularly foxes, (which I also enjoy photographing), taxidermy, music, (especially prog rock!), cemeteries and various other stuff. Yeah. o_O

Do you think we have enough milk? xD
The sad thing is, this is only enough to last for tonight and tomorrow. I wasn’t kidding when I said i drink a lot of milk. 8|

What could I possibly be keeping in such a pretty box? Bees, of course!

Dead bumblebees to be exact. xD Every time I find one dead in the street I stick it in my pocket and if it doesn’t get squished then it goes in the bee box! Most of these were actually collected years ago. I think there’s at least three different species here.

Really close to 500 followers

Once I get to 500 I want to do some sort of giveaway. Will probably just be a drawing or something, but I might see if I can scrape some other stuff together as well.

Anyway, I’ll give more details once I hit 500 and have decided on what to do for it. :3

I swear Polly loves ice cream even more then me. @_@

Whenever I’m eating it she’s all over me trying to get some. .__.

Sometimes I’ll let her have a few licks of the bowl when I’m done as a special treat (unless its chocolate, even though that’s her favorite. u_u) I’m actually surprised she likes this mint one so much. Normally she hates anything minty. o_O

On a lighter note, I thought this was pretty funny.
Someone had put a fake hawk on their roof too scare off the pigeons and seagulls, but this gull was having none of it!

Sorry for the photo spam, but she was just so beautiful i couldn’t stop taking pictures. ;~;

After i was done I moved her into the undergrowth where she wouldn’t be disturbed. Hopefully when the maggots have finished their job I’ll be able to collect her skull and bones. At least this time the warm weather should speed things up.

When I first arrived at the cemetery I was immediately hit by the stench of rotting flesh and clouds of flies buzzing around, so I knew one of the cubs had died. Didn’t take long to find the body crumpled beside a grave.

I pulled her out into the open so I could examine her and get some better photos, (don’t worry, I put a plastic bag over my hand so I didn’t have to physically touch her!) Her belly and right side were completely eaten away by maggots. I was surprised her face was still in tact as that’s usually the first thing to go on carcasses! As sad as it was to find her like that, it was interesting being able to examine her up-close (good thing the smell doesn’t bother me. xD)

These photos should give you an idea of how big it is!

The top photo is a comparison with my other sheep skull, an average-sized adult ewe. As you can see the ram totally dwarfs it in size. Even the biggest skull in my collection, the German Shepherd, looks small by comparison! @_@

Does Doctors really expect me to believe it’s snowing heavily in the middle of June?

I know we’ve had crazy weather this year, but come on. xD They really need to stop filming the episodes so far in advance.

My skull came, and omg it’s even more beautiful irl!
It’s a lot bigger then I was expecting, too! About twice the size of my other sheep skull. Still not sure if it’s actually a sheep or something else though? Looks like it had horns, so probably some sort of large ram.
I’ll post some more photos in a bit.

This year we’ve suddenly started getting these in the garden for the first time; the White-lipped Banded Snail (Cepaea hortensis).
Their fancy shells certainly put our ordinary garden snails to shame! @_@
