The Deer Visit, Etc.

I know the deer visit often, but usually because I see the results of their foraging. But, here she is in broad daylight.

Nibbling on the morning glories by the composter. 

Oh wait, something else to graze and destroy...

Ugh, scratchy fencing.

perhaps an apple...
just one?


uh oh




off to check out the neighbors' trees and gardens

On a much less destructive path, bees are all over. Mostly bumblebees, but a few honeybees, too. They are really pretty nice to have around. Unlike flies and such that insist on buzzing around your face and biting your legs, the bees just get on about their work unless you get in their way.
