decay # 49 ~ Cindy didn't eat her corn and other edible disasters

Corn and other perishables ~ Au Sable Forks, NY - in the Adirondack Park • click to embiggenRe: the subject of some projects seeming to slide by without much attention, I haven't made any decay pictures in a while. A fact I was reminded of yesterday when an awful smell nearly overcame me in my decay staging / fermenting room.

At first, I thought it to be a dead mouse which I searched for without success. Then it dawned on me that I had forgotten - travel and other commitments will do that - about a fermenting plate of food stuffs. So, I covered the plate with saran wrap and the odor disappeared.

Upon checking the plate this AM I discovered maggots had taken up residency so I figured I'd better make a picture before things got out of control. Hence, the beautiful picture you see here.
