One of our favorite things to do, the dogs and I, is to get in our UTV (Mags in the right seat, Emma in back) and take a nice long ramble across the plains. During our expedition I keep my eyes open for interesting "stuff." I'm partial to bones and sheds, and hardly a trip that we don't find some good ones. At the right time of year a shed can be seen at half a mile or more with a pair of binocs.
I find five or six nice sheds a year, and these I put elsewhere. But most of what I find I salt away in various spots around the place. The pic shows the behind-the-shop repository. I tell myself that someday I will make a sculpture of some type out of them, but the truth is I just like them. They have shapes, textures, and substance that I find compelling.

That's kind of a macabre hobby. I hope you don't drive near any graveyards on your jaunts.
I don't see it as macabre. After all, we all have bones, and these guys weren't using them anymore. I see it as a kind of respectful thing.
I don't think it's macabre, either; I think skeletons are fascinating. If I lived where you live, I'd have a collection too.
