Photos today courtesy of my friend Terri in Nashville, Tennessee.
Several weeks ago I shared my friend Terri’s garden outside of Nashville, Tennessee. Her backyard is next to a wooded area. One of her loves is spotting deer coming into her yard. She can only take photos from inside the home to not scare her wild visitors.
Terri is also celebrating that her first two gladiolus have bloomed. She has over 20 more that will bloom shortly. She is really fond of them.
I hope you have a beautiful day. Enjoy the small things in life.

…the deer in my yard are dinning on my hostas.
oh dear
I hope Terri’s deer are kinder to her garden than my deer are to mine! But they’re such lovely creatures!
Terri never complains about damage to the garden so I guess the deer don’t do a lot of damage. I know once she told me about sitting on her deck and a fawn and mother came quietly into the yard. Terri tried not to move nor make a sound. I was quite envious.
Oh wow! How lucky to have deer coming into your garden. Those gladiolus are beautiful.
Oh I love Terri’s visitors. And her gladiolus are stunning.
Hello Carol. I’m glad to see you at the Garden Spot. Glads are also one my favorites. We just planted them, so it will be summers end before they appear. Terri’s are beautiful.
So very beautiful.
Carol – beautiful gladiolus. When I go to the Fair here, I love to look at the Gladioli that have been submitted for judging. Such perfection! Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday!
What an amazing Story. I had tears in my eye.
Happy MosaicMonday 😘
Lovely gladiolus
Happy Monday
Much❤love
The deer look so curious! What beautiful flowers and photos!
A good question Carol. Young birds develop their legs and feet before many parts of their body and plumage .We cannot ring birds until the legs and feet are nearing full growth as the ring would slip over the foot. In some species we actually use a larger diameter ring for nestlings as opposed to an adult because the youngster’s legs are actually softer and more puffy than an adult’s. E.G.Great Tit
Deer in the garden? I like that idea.
I’d love to see deer in my yard but I have a small yard in the suburbs – no woods near me. Thanks for answering my question. I’d hate to birds with embedded rings. I’m always upset when animal rescue groups find dogs with embedded collars. Put one on a puppy and then throw away the dog. What do your bird groups do with information on ringing? Are you getting migration patterns?
They are such beautiful flowers and such a privilege to see deer in your own garden. That is amazing!

Have a bloomingtastic week 👍
Deer are such sweet creatures.
Your gladiolus are beautiful, Carol.
Happy Tuesday!
Happy Tuesday Veronica!
I was afraid you were going to say the deer are eating the gladiolus. I’ve watched them eat roses, briers and all.
Wow…the deer are really close. The glads are beautiful. I have a pink that bloomed this week. Thank you for sharing at #aclwcc. Pinned & Tweeted.
