Bones, an unexpected find

I went for a bike ride yesterday morning and a little north of
4500 South I saw a path of into the woods and decided to take it. I only rode about 3 or 4 hundred feet when the path got to rough to ride and I got off my bike and started walking. I ran across a pile of bones. It looked to me like the bones of a mule deer, but I am no expert. The shade from the trees created a lot of contrast and I found this bone sitting in the sun. I thought it would be a nice subject for my new SMC Pentax FA 50mm F1.4 lens. I wanted to see what kind of bokeh it has. It is a nice one. I got a little color fringing so I will have to experiment with that and see what I have to do to reproduce that effect so I know how to control it. I have a couple of other nice shots demonstrating this lens' bokeh. You can find them on my flickr page: FLICKR
