Government House in the rain June 27, 2011

In the rain there can be some interesting finds ... and not just wet flowers. With so few people around, two deer were having a good feed in the rose garden.

The older deer was chomping on the rose blossoms. She wasn't too concerned about my presence.

The younger one was not as bold. Aside from the roses, this shrub was a favourite snack.

I wondered if the recent addition of wire on top of the rock wall around the grounds was doing a better job of keeping the deer in rather than out, although with open gates they are free to come and go.

Uneaten roses.

And an iris.
