Ground Hog

A quick Google search turns up this site: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groundhog
where you can find out all you'd ever want to know about this creature.

I've been spotting this Ground Hog all season around my yard. I always think of the movie "Caddy Shack" whenever I see him!

I finally got close enough to take photographs without scaring him away. He absolutely loves broccoli and bean plants (he's pictured here eating old broccoli from my garden out front).

I offer these photos both as a frustrated gardener, yet a happy photographer...
