…I continue my walk.
I head for a woven wire gate… easier than climbing over the tight barbed wire! But there, on the other side, sits a snowshoe hare!
He’s taking in the sun, and barely glances at me as I approach.
The dogs are off in the weeds somewhere… and I return down the fenceline, hoping to not scare him off and manage another pic or two.
I shove my arm though the fence and click!
Whoa.
How about some zoom on that?
A little better…
Ahhh.
There.
He twitches his nose and continues to warm up in the sun.
I admire his winter wardrobe and decide to leave… the dogs are headed my way, and I’d hate for them to find my new friend!
Find me here!
He/she certainly looks at home there. Lovely photo. Lovely winter colours.
Wow! Protective coloration in action. Impressive. Congratulations Mr/Ms Bunny, and to you Carol for capturing the photo.
Lovely winter coat! And so lucky for you that you were able to observe him in full daylight.
What a handsome, well dressed rabbit!
Wow he really blends in how cute!
