At the flea market, we came across a taxidermy mount sitting on a table, seeing this noble creature staring at the sky made me cringe. It felt disrespectful to me to see this proud animal, once honored as a trophy, now just another piece on junk. My picture for 12/9 is an abstract of that neck mount sitting on a table.
