Photographs: Part 3

I'm reluctant to post pictures of either the doe or her fawn at this point, as they are quite graphic and--despite my tendencies towards full disclosure--I don't see the purpose of showcasing that degree of carnage.

Instead, these are pictures of the truck/trailer combo that I veered into after hitting the deer. As previously mentioned, the vehicle's occupants (thankfully) suffered no serious injury, but my Saturn SL1 was never destined to fare particularly well against anything this large...

As promised, here is another set of photos that were selected to more specifically showcase the car's damage up-close. But as another point of clarification, most (emphasis on "most") of the carnage strewn about the car's interior is from the deer; that is, for example, the deer's heart ejected onto the floor of the passenger side, but the blood saturation on the left side of the driver's seat is all me. You can also see a pair of seemingly-intact Adidas Sambas in the vehicle, and I honestly think it unfortunate that they were never recovered.

With very few exceptions, the pictures are only going to become progressively more graphic from here on out; if you're bothered by blood, stray animal tissues, involuntary organ donation, or anything similarly unsettling, do yourself a favor and don't view any more of the picture posts.

Anyway...

Photographs: Part 1

Even though I like to think that my narrative skills have painted a sufficiently vivid picture, I've mulled over the prospects of posting photographs for some time; consequently, my decision to do so is not an effort to establish further credibility amongst my scant readership, as I offer my story and related musings on an "as is" basis; I feel no need or desire to "prove" that what I claim is fact, but I do feel that certain choice pictures can create a far more tangible effect than what mere words can accomplish.

I will post subsequent pictorials at some point in the next few weeks, but I've opted for broader shots here to characterize the general devastation.
