One-Year Ago (16-May-2016) — New Jersey

Backyard Springtime Nature in New Jersey.

A rabbit in my wildflower garden. It kept coming out early every morning, but had not done much damage. The wildflowers I planted were supposed to be deer resistant, so maybe didn’t taste good for the rabbit either.
