Going Into Orbit

Brian begins his exploration of the circular bony socket for an eye, known as the orbit, in a skull from a sheep. On Skye, with its thousands of sheep, coming across a skeleton happens regularly - I came across six on my last outing.

 

For Macro Mondays theme 'Circles'. The orbit measured 3.5cm in diameter.

 

No snails were harmed in the making of this photograph.
