New Jersey has a deer problem.

We live in New Jersey.

We have a deer problem.

There is a deer fawn that has taken up residence in our neck of the woods. We've seen it several times on our property, although never with a camera in hand.

But it is here.

And it considers our mini-meadow the local fast food joint.

These were once flowers:

Now they are just stems. This makes us very sad. And a wee bit angry.

Rather obvious as to the culprit. The deer has done a number on the other plants in our mini-meadow as well. Alas it is too late to really do anything this year. But I've some ideas on how to protect the mini-meadow next year. This isn't over yet ...
