It's always nice to see deer around. This one is in our neighbour's field. We see more wildlife there than our own place, as it is a large open field, that we overlook.
And then I remembered the eaten off raspberry canes, pole bean and peas in the orchard garden.
Begone, you damn pest!
Oooh, nice extended trot.
Can you tell I used to ride horses?
And here's why we need to put in a higher fence.
Actually, the blood meal I have been tossing around seems to work, as long as I remember to reapply it occasionally. And now I am putting it on the leaves of some new beans, to try discourage the rabbits.
There was a rabbit in the back yard this morning.
The nerve!
The dogs didn't even see it, and I had to encourage them to go after it.
I need to convince them to catch their own raw food.
So glad I'm not the only person who gets all excited when they snag a nice movement shot. :)
ReplyDeleteCool pictures. We though we saw rasberries on his face..

Glad to see the deer at your place. Good fortune & quick action meant I missed the deer on the I-5 expressway 3 days ago but the other car didn't.
ReplyDeleteSo hope yours isn't too much of a nuisance. Yes, great photos.
I just can't wrap my brain around thinking of them as pests - they're so cute!
ReplyDeleteBut my inlaws in the interior are constantly kvetching about them because they eat their entire garden, ornamentals and edibles!
