A Fun Little Rabbit

Now this is more like it! Finally I have a good animal sighting. I always get excited when I see a little bit of wildlife roaming around out there. Rabbits are some of my favorites. They work so well in the snow.

I guess I have to let some of the air out of myself and tell you how I got these pictures. I was sitting in my house and I happened to look out my back door just in time to see this little guy run through my backyard. It was also kind enough to stop right within view.

I ran around the house for at least a minute or two looking for my camera. When I finally found it the rabbit was still sitting there in the same spot right outside my back door. I opened the door and the rabbit still stayed right there as if it was waiting for me. The dog didn't even mess anything up.

After several long seconds the rabbit finally noticed me standing there taking pictures of it. I have no idea why it took so long. Maybe it was resting from a long run or something and I just wasn't quite close enough to be an immediate threat.

When he finally saw reacted to me, he ran off to the right side of the back of the house. I took several pictures of the rabbit running away, but the one you see here is the only presentable one. It's really hard to get good pictures of moving animals. I'm lucky I got even this one.

The rabbit came to a stop behind these tall weeds not very far away. I guess he thought he was perfectly safe there because there was absolutely nothing I could do to get him to move again. After getting several of the same picture I decided I was finished.

My little town is just full of rabbits like this one. I see at least one every time I go out not matter what time of year it is. I usually see several. My problem is that I got out of the habit of taking my camera just outside my house. I used to do it a lot. I figured I got enough from around here.

But I haven't just seen my little town rabbits. I've been traveling. I have more animals and other interesting sights coming up soon. I lucked upon some old and new friends to share with you. I'll be staying in my truck for my next few adventures though because it's really getting cold here, but I still have lots of stuff from recent hikes to share. I'll talk to you later.
