While we were vacationing at the lake a few weeks ago, "something" had its way with the apple tree.
The tree was stripped of all the apples, and many limbs were broken in the process.
We were fairly certain of the culprits, and sure enough, they returned to the scene of the crime today.
Sorry about the poor quality;
they weren't interested in a photo shoot.
Momma was beautiful and appeared very healthy.
If she saw me, she never reacted.

Not to worry, we are on high alert before venturing outside with the dogs, and we are
very loud!
I think Jack would go see if they wanted to play.
ReplyDeleteThats cool, but sorry there won't be any apple goodies!
ReplyDeleteoh good lord. i hope so!
ReplyDeleteThey sure aren't very respectful of your property, for shame! Maybe you could electrify the area next year - if the tree survives. Wow, I am not coming to visit you - I am a-scared of bears!
ReplyDeleteOk they were cute until you said they were stealing apples and there would be no pie or turnovers for my sweet handsome Buddy!!
ReplyDeletePooh on you bears.
MOL at Jack's comment!! Obviously he'd say that he is thousands of miles away.
Hugs from your BFFF,

Not often but every once in a while we see bears too!! So far not in the fence but just out side the fence. My guess, they could come in if they wanted to!!
ReplyDeleteI do have wonderful friends and that includes you!!

Oh no, no Apple Mojitos?! LOL
ReplyDeleteThe apples must have been very good if there aren't any left!
Raider would love to give you Labs a few tips on protecting Rama from bears!
Wow - what a sight! We can't imagine being so close to bears in the wild, the closest we get is national Geographic! Nice to meet you all, Dex and Lou xxx
ReplyDeleteWell that would be an eye opener!
