The Flower Bandit.

This young white-tailed buck visits my garden just about every day. He sometimes comes for lunch and stays for supper, resting in the shade of my front garden trees. He has eaten all my Day-lilies, all the Fuchsias ,most of the Hostas, and the large clump of brilliant orange Alstroemeria next to my front door, that had 200 flower stems and now has 199 stumps and one flower. So he is called "The Flower Bandit". I finally caught him on camera...
He has also stripped my Laburnum tree and all the Spirea bushes, my husband is talking about venison stew:-)

Great Catch, he's so cute I love that you were able to photograph him surrounded by your pretty florals.It's too bad about all your florals though but it must be nice to know he feels comfortable in your yard.

He sure looks extremely healthy on the diet you're feeding him - will you be stopping him now you've got your shot? You've got a lovely garden there too...

Beautiful, Jess, I am so shocked to see those lovely Matilija Poppies in your garden. They are among my favorites and are native to California. He has a nice rack too.
Hank Vander Velde03-Jul-2009 01:10
Fantastic shot Jess. Great setting amongst what appears to be an abundant display of less tasty flowers.
Guest 03-Jul-2009 00:57
Biltong is the word, kiding, gorgeous setting even though he's eating you garden..

Looks like he's sauntering into a salad bar. Beautiful setting and shot.
