    I’m assuming that you don’t have a garden (or that it’s well protected), because no garden owner that I know would be so cavalier about the great satan stepping into their yard. 😉

    Yes, I live in an apartment complex – not my garden 😉

    That is not a garden. It is a deer salad bar.

    Something like this:

    Taken in our backyard in the middle of the day. Well, they have buffet in our yard: first nibble on some salad and then satisfy sweet tooth with fresh fruit.
    Oh, well, some time we might get chance to taste some of our own garden fruits… if squirrels, chipmunks and deer leave something for us 😉
    Nice shots, Boro
