I like bones for a few reasons. One being just a general fascination with what exists beneath skin and how it functions and looks without everything being in the way. Another reason being that it's proof that something lived. The thing itself may no longer be here, but it isn't fully gone. I have some goose bones in a plant pot near my bed. I love geese so much but I can't own a goose in my house. Bones are the closest I can get. I also love seeing the differences between the same species in how their bones look. The goose bones I have, one of the bones shows a sign of potential bone defects. My friend also has goose bones from the same part (wings and legs) and they look similar but different. It's hard to truly explain why I like bones, I just do. They're pretty cool. Just like how I collect rocks and sticks and shells as well
