BIG NUISANCE

BIG TROUBLE

This young bear has started coming by the backyard multiple times during daylight hours.

This was Thursday morning at 8am.

I'd not yet put out the bird feeders.

He did slurp up some bits that had fallen from the hot pepper feeders along the deer fence.

Yes, he found it very hot. He kept sticking out his tongue and munch LOTS of grass in attempt to overcome the capsaicin. I'm going to leave the feeders down for several days and see what happens.

Wednesday's Walk

It's a fine day for a walk.

I waited too long to take photos of the Chokecherry.

It's past its prime.

The Ninebark though looks great.

See?

Nootka Roses are in bloom.

So is the Cow's Parsley.
