Different Garden Attempt - Guests

After trying, and failing, to establish some wildflower gardens areas in the back of the backyard I've decided to try something else.  I dug up the garden areas, tilled in some compost/manure, and planted 8 hibiscus bushes.  Reading just a bit about them I will be pruning them as bushes, not trees, but I guess I'll just be glad to have something growing.  Wildflowers... how can wildflowers NOT grow?!?!?
My 4 little flower garden areas each with its own 2 new plants :)
 
Now the 'guests' part of this blog.  The last couple of weeks there have been a number of times when I've seen 2 deer meandering around the property.  They seem quite accustomed to seeing people and they don't just take off running if you are seen by them.  This is good and bad, I guess.  Last week they were standing just outside of the open big garage door just looking in as I was going to go out.  Scared the crap out of me!  I'm thinking bear or lion or something.  The last few mornings I've noticed them as I sit at the kitchen table and this morning I grabbed the camera.
 
You're going to have to click on this photo to see them.  One is sitting down just behind the flower bed, just to the right of the tall grass.  Her friend is standing to the left, back in the woods a bit, right above the left end of the flower bed.  Kind of cool :)  Not cool will be if they make breakfast out of the plants I put in this afternoon!
