pond visitor
« on: July 19, 2010, 06:06:10 PM »
caught this young doe by the lily pond last night, she did not mind I was taking pictures...thought she was just gettting a drink, but then I realized she was EATING my lily pads!! I yelled at her and she just slowly walked off into the wooded part of the yard. Tonight I netted that end of the pond again, last thing I need is her falling in.  Pictures are not the best but thought I'd post anyway

Great pictures.  Looks like you have a lot of flowers blooming.
Some daytime pics would be nice.  ;)  :teehee:

Sorry she was eating your pads, but those are some very nice pictures.

I, too, would love to see your flowers and pond in daylight!

Glad she stayed put for you to grab your camera and get her pic!  I love deer, they don't seem to bother my flowers or pond--but they have all this countryside to live and eat in ....   :)

Deer are eating my lilies also. I have had to cut my electric fence back on to hopefully keep them out. Your pic is beautiful, and so is your pond! That is a wonderful shot of the deer getting caught eating your plants.
