List of Roadkill Photos for My Friend Anette

I begin to photograph roadkill when I made my bicycle tour across the southern United States . One day on that trip, I saw a dead North American River Otter on road. At the time, I thought this was unusual. I commented about it in my blog without any photo. My friend, Anette chastised my being a terrible blogger because I failed to include a photo of the roadkill otter. The next day, I saw a dead skunk on the road, photographed it, sent a copy to Anette, and put it in my blog. The roadkill photo collection had begun.
