Quite astonishing and well observed. The poor beast is dead but at least it was in the sun.

I had no clue what this was until I read your text, Steven. I love the quote...and everything, especially the minimalism.

Death belong to life. One man said: One day I will die, the other days I will live.

J'aime beaucoup ta citation ..et ta photo ...magnifique !!

one's death is one's luck to make a exrtraordinary photo.

Jypyä Pop... I like that thought.
I agree with your title!

You are really dead if you are no longer mentioned
Very good title

" La mort a plus d'une ombre à son arc-en-ciel. " - Elie Delamare-Debouteville

Mourir au soleil rend il la mort plus douce ? Là est la question !!!
Belle capture et paix à son âme !!! :-))
Bonne journée Steven

She had probably had a good life just outside of your window, Steven

nice meaningful shot

jolie composition

what an excellent crisp minimalist thought provoking image

I had to look close to see if it was a walnut or a bug!

A very interesting image Steven.

Very impressive with this long shadow…

Aw!!! A real sad sight !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Interesting and sad shot. Impressive shadow.

bien posé

KInd of sad but interesting

I will say this sure is an excellent capture and is interesting to look at. I would never have thought to take it.

Une superbe composition, illustrant bien ton titre.

belle prise bien titrée!!

Un proverbe que tu as bien illustré Steven

greetings

wonderful shot!

Impressive...just as your blog post title is!

a stunning minimalism

Sad but beautiful image Steven

Beautifully framed.

It has become immortal through your lens.

Sad, but simply nature. Very good shot.

It did give you a very nice image with that low light.

An amazing image. Wonderful detail and light and shadow. The proverb is perfect.

Awe - poor thing... but what a brilliant opportunity for your photographic eye!

fun close-up. I like the pebbly texture of the background, which looks like a wall, and out of place for a horizontal surface

That is a very imaginative and thoughtful representation of the proverb.

Great shot. The light and long shadow give a greater impact. :)

What did the autopsy say?
Was it natural death or was it murdered?
Superb framing and composition!

Superb framing and composition!
Perfect shadow highlight

C'est triste !
L'image est tout à fait convaincante.

I've never heard that proverb but it sure does apply to us all. I've photographed dead creatures before but have not been brave enough to post them. I commend you because death really is part of life.
