It's warm enough today to do a little melting. I took advantage of the warmth to get out and take some pictures. Obviously the deer are making themselves right at home here , yellow snow and all. It's circumstantial evidence, I know, but Ed swears it wasn't him ! Apparently this deer stopped for a pit stop on his way up the hill to munch on the tender buds and shoots of our high bush blueberry bushes. Both the blueberries and the deer were here before we came here, so I guess it's only right.Deer tracks crisscross the yard from the pines, through the garden around the apple trees and into the bushes. Sometimes the deer are running and tracks are an unbelievable distance apart. Sometimes they just walk along and nibble on any plant they happen to pass by.Occasionally we see them, but if they are anywhere near a bush or some trees , they can literally disappear before your very eyes.
I have to admit a fondness for them in spite of any problems they might cause in the garden.

Deer tracks for sure. Our backyard and feeder area is full of them. Happy Winter, may spring come soon.
You added a clever title to this post;) I like deer too, they're beautiful creatures. Very gentle. It is true that they can do more than a little damage to our gardens! They are so sneaky, and quick, too! But the evidence is too obvious to deny. They were definitely there;)
What special visitors you had to your garden, Becky. Deer are such beautiful creatures, though you're right, they can be destructive. Looks like this fellow was simply out for a nibble, though. :)
