Busy Wildlife

During the last couple of weeks, there has been a lot of wildlife activity in the yard. I've seen the bobcat, the deer, a raccoon and for the first time ever, the big black bear!  Not the little bear I was expecting, but a bear that I estimate to be about half the size of our daughters horse. So about 600 lbs. We think it might have been a male.

While I was loudly whispering for my daughter to bring the camera, she was telling me to get off the deck and come inside. A little role reversal and I didn't get the picture of the bear.

However, I did get some pictures of the havoc the deer seem to be reeking in my garden. I mean really, they were even in the raised beds that are about two feet up and the reason I know this is because they left foot prints. Bad deer.....very naughty.
