I love the nightlife

Last summer, the back neighbor apparently complained of a deer eating her sunflower. I was skeptical but slowly became persuaded there might be one around, considering the extensive damage my young mimosa trees were sustaining. I later found distinctive tracks in newly dug flowerbeds.

Tonight we got home right about 1am. As I turned into the driveway, my headlights spotlighted five deer in the yard.

Looks like I'm going to have to invest in protective barriers for my vulnerable young trees. But, still ... so cool!
