The Prettiest Thieves

Here up North, one needs a lot of winter interest in the garden.


On either side of our front door, I planted deciduous Winterberry Holly bushes.


They were full of winter interest.


Even in the snow the bright berries stood out.


They evidently stood out a little too much.


They caught the eye of some local wildlife.


A family of bluebirds greatly enjoyed my winter interest bushes.


Now my bushes don't have nearly so much winter interest.


But I do garden for wildlife as well, so what can I say?  


They really were the prettiest thieves!
