Memento Mori Revisited

Last month I did a post I called “Memento Mori“. If you’re not familiar with the term I’d suggest that you take a look at that post.

Well, here’s another one. When I came home the other day, I noticed this dead raccoon next to my driveway. It was close to the road so I suppose it could have been hit by a car hard enough to knock into my driveway. Or it could have been hit by a car and crawled as far as my driveway. Or it could have died from natural causes. I’ll never know.

I was tired from a day working and I didn’t feel like dealing with it at that moment. So, thinking I’d deal with it the following day I left it where it was.

When I came back to dispose of it, I found that it had gone. I’m guessing that a coyote, fox or maybe a vulture had taken it.

A vehicle

Actually, I wasn’t much interested in the vehicle itself. But blue is my favorite color, and I was attracted to the pastel blue of the vehicle and the contrast with the bright yellow of the lettering

A weathered door

I’ve taken many photographs of this old, weathered door on a similarly decaying old building on Main Street in Ossining, NY. I don’t know how the house manages to survive, nor do I fully understand what fascinates me so much about the door. Although I’ve taken a lot of pictures of it, I’ve never been quite happy with them. I think I like this one the most, at least for now.
