The Backyard Rogue!

This little guy (and his very well established family)

have been the un-welcomed dinner guests

in our backyard flower gardens 

for several years now.

Last spring... uninvited, they nipped 

all of my lilies and rose campion to stubble

in one evening (or early morning) outing.

I just snapped this pic of the rogue... 
romping around our yard, quite oblivious I might add,
 to my presence and preoccupation 
with catching him "in the act" on my camera.  
This year... I'm "discouraging" their dining

with some concentrated garlic spray! 
Cute... but so annoying.
