[Leica] Friday flowers and faun

[lrzeitlin at gmail.com (Lawrence Zeitlin)]

Young deer are born in the spring and by July the little fauns have turned
into efficient mowing machines. We live in deer country between two "forever
wild" state parks. Deer are protected animals until late fall when they can
be taken by automobiles and all sorts of lethal weapons. My wife wages a
constant battle trying to grow ornamental flowers faster than they can be
eaten. It is a labor of Sisyphus.

Here is a picture of a hungry faun scouting the territory. It is a bit fuzzy
because it was taken through a somewhat dirty double pane window. The faun
wouldn't wait around until I could get a clear shot. If he hangs around
until hunting season starts, we will have a venison feast

Later that day we inventoried the garden to see what we had left.

Pink lilies are harder to grow but apparently just as tasty.

These simply grow wild.
