    The deer eat anything this year, plants that they didn't eat earlier are now on the menu. Part of the fron garden is rather wild as we can't stop them from coming in, they just look at you.

    Beautiful photo, I am glad I don't have to deal with deer, just the annoying little creatures...squirrels, chipmunks and rabbits.

    I'd look at you too if you tried to disturb my lunch. ;) They're pretty animals, though, despite their tendency to eat my blooms.

    Gosh I'm glad I only see deer in others photographs and not in my garden. It's hard enough trying to contend with the wildlife I do have without something that big munching on my plants too.

    Great shot!
    We have a HUGE problem with deer where I work. They think all the gardens are their buffet and just stare at you when you chase them away. They eat everything ... even the things they say are "deer proof" . They ARE cute though ...

    I have them come right up to the house when the lights go off and they don't seem to care what they eat.
