Deer Family

12 comments


This is a little bambie which showed up recently on our trail camera.

Looking around her new surroundings.

OH took couple of pictures with his camera

Here comes her mom

I hope she is telling her “do not to eat Klahanie’s roses
or she will not love you”

And a father joins in

Seems like father babysits a lot

“I love your yummy Boston Ivy Klahanie……I hope you do not mind”

Oh no Henry (his name) , now we will not see the beautiful red coloured leaves next months.
I will have to make sure that next year it is not yummy.

Lovely blog Klahanie.they are very cute..it must be so irritating though to see your shrubs disappear before your eyes.

However annoying is must be to have them eat your plants, I think it's lovely to see them :)

Amazing you get to see them so close, but also annoying that they don't quite understand that your garden is off limits!

Thank you all for your comments.

I believe that they can be trained if one has time and energy to do that. I spray certain plants in early spring to teach them that they are not edible for them. It all lasts only to a next rain. But most of deer do remember. Also, it is only working for the ones living in the vicinity of our property. Unfortunately, there is a large population of deer on the Island and here and there many of them browse through here.
When we moved in I was very upset about the fact that I cannot grow many plants I love because they love them too but eventually I got in peace with them and try to grow plants that are not their favourite.

Great photos. I'm glad you've found a way to be happy with their presence, Klahanie. A great treat to see them, thank you!

I too missed your blog Klahanie and am so pleased I found it. Little Bambi, she's a delight. They are truly beautiful creatures but I do hope they don't munch through all your Boston Ivy! I could do with them here to munch through mine! ☺️

Thank you Klahanie, the one with the largest leaves is just beginning to colour up now.
How are the hummingbirds doing? They'll soon be busy at your feeders again.:)) And we will have pics again..☺️
