Nibble, Nibble, Nibble 3-29-23

Between the deer and the rabbits,
I can only grow flowers on my deck where they can't reach.
They'll eat almost everything else in our yard.

Although deer and rabbits are great to photograph, both critters also carry ticks.
If you look closely, you'll see an engorged tick in the ear of the bunny above.
The other day, he had 3 or 4 attached to each ear. They must have dropped off and are now waiting for another warm-blooded critter to come along to satiate them again.
Life in the wild isn't easy.

Even so, she is one cute bunny.

It is really enjoying all the green foliage. Nice capture.

Nice shot of this wascally wabbit. We have many around our neighborhood as well, which attract coyotes. That I'm not so crazy about when I walk our dog.

She is a cutie there is no doubt. We have one clambering over the snowbanks here to get some bird feed, there's not much else to eat. Lovely shot. V

A lovely, sharp image of the rabbit. Ticks are a problem over here too! V

Great close-up. It is a shame about the ticks. We never had them up here, but with the warmer winters over the past twenty years or so they have become an issue.

Excellent closeup, but sad to hear they're so affected by ticks.
