I didn’t anticipate any more photos of the lupin pair that I’ve posted several times, until I saw them this morning en route to the beach this morning. Nipped in the bud. Or almost the bud. By deer, I’m sure.
Also deer-nibbled: apple branches that were low enough for the herbivores to reach in the winter starvation times.
At the beach, the water level has dropped since we arrived, but it’s still waaaaay too high IMHO.
Orchard view: petals are dropping, and leaves continue emerging, so that the petal-white is becoming overwhelmed. Still pretty, lovely, and wonderful, however.
