Remains

I found this skull hiking as a kid. It was very very clean already. I suspect it is an opossum, but I am not sure. It did have two sharp longer teeth in front but they have fallen away.

No vermin here. I wish Elwha liked to eat the tiny ants, though.

For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: vermin.

Bee trial garden

Really, the Point Defiance Dahlia Trial Garden could be called a Bee Trial Garden. I don’t think I’ve ever photographed so many different kinds of bees! And very happy bees, too.
