Nope.
Well, technically they will eat young plants and fresh spring growth, but around here, there is too many other delicacies for them to bother.

Our redbud are on their way out. Dogwood is in full bloom. I like your deer cages around your tulips. A place I worked, would have a contract agency plant tulips every year and then rip them out and toss them after they bloomed. Two years, back to back, I grabbed some of the discards and planted a fifty foot row. Deer clipped them off both years and I finally gave up.
It's been too hot around here. The mushrooms are popping up and then quickly burning up. The ones I found today were almost too dry to keep.

Haven't had time to look for shrooms, but maybe tomorrow. We were 80° today and a little warmer tomorrow, but have been getting rains, so lots of moisture.
Have a lot more daffodils than tulips, but have tulips in a couple places I fence.

Fishing last week was below parr. They'd had easterly winds for over 2 weeks and cooler temps. The wind was sufficient to disrupt the tides, blowing the water off the flats. That meant the lows were really low and the highs never occurred. Bonefish are notoriously sissy fish when it comes to changes in their environment, so most of them had moved off to deeper water. We saw huge muds in 5 - 6 feet of water. We did manage a fish or two or three each day, the last couple days being better than the rest due to less wind and warmer temps I did hook one nice cuda but it came unbuckled after the first jump. We don't specifically target cudas, but I always keep a rod rigged with a needlefish fly on a wire string just in case we stumble onto a nice fish. So I didn't take many photos. Here's one of one of our group with Sidney Thomas. Sid's one of the best bonefish guides in the Bahamas in my opinion and has taught me tons about bonefish and flats fishing in general.
Like the look of that fish! Of course, I always wonder how they taste. Too bad your week was below average! Chuck
Bonefish are terrible table fare. The flesh doesn't stay in a nice filet and there are lots of bones. Hawaiians sometimes bake them wrapped in banana leaves, then scrape the meat off the bones and mix it with rice to make fish balls or fish cakes. Often for special occasions like weddings. I don't know of any place that encourages sport fishing practice catch & release to preserve the game fish. Their best survival traits are camouflage and speed.
That fish looks artificial……….
It does look kind of plasticy in that photo. That's pretty much how they look tho - often what you see on the flat is that big black eye or their shadow made by the sun. Their mirror like scales reflect the color of the bottom and the sky so well you often can't see the actual fish.
In central Illinois, always figure that peonies bloom on Memorial Day. At least a week early this year.
And the Irises!
Yes, I will probably have to harvest in the Summer. The development is moving in fast. Is sad how they perturbed this land into ridges and swails to make this subdivision. It was originally gently rolling field I use to walk in and take photos of the deer.
I'm guessing I should plant them instead of letting them dry out?
Yummy !!

Life finds a way. This tree (juniper?) looks like it’s 100 years old, and maybe it is, but it is only 2” tall growing in the crack of a rock. I almost stepped on it.

Looks like a genuine tree!
It is, it’s just a little one.
