As a child, growing up in New Zealand, my Grandmother used to read to me from Beatrix Potter's 'The Tale Of Peter Rabbit.'
Ever since then, I've had rather a soft spot for these furry creatures....
I happened upon this little fella, on Friday, while on a field trip to the Animal Ark (a local animal sanctuary) with a group of second graders.
It wasn't one of the Ark's animals, but had chosen to make the Ark it's home.
While it was not tame, it obviously tolerated humans and was curious about what I was doing, as it followed me for awhile.
It was very good at posing for photographs. Holding it's pose as I fiddled with the hubby's digital camera.
I'd forgotten to bring some extra rolls of film for my camera.:-(
You can click on each photo to enlarge it...
"Well .... hello there!!!"
"BTW, I do not have an abundance of whiskers .... I'm carrying around some dried grass"..
"Okay... you look harmless, so I'll keep on hunting for food"...
"Time I went home now .... byeeeee !!"
"Oh, you're still there" ....
"Look .... I'm getting a bit tired of this posing thing !! Haven't you already taken, like, a zillion pictures ???"
"Okay, one more time. Now please go home, already !!"
Now go to CAMERA CRITTERS and join in the fun.
Rabbits... hmmmm... where's me gun??? I used to shoot rabbits on our little farm when I was a teenager! There were/are a major pest. SORRY! *smiles*
ReplyDeleteAwwwwwwww...he's precious! I was a great Potter fan as a child, and still have my series of books. I read to my children from them, too. Beatrix was the "original" - and best, I think - Potter! BTW, I've got a piece of Bloggy Bling for you at my place today. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteWhat a handsome guy! I loved Beatrix Potter too (still do!).
ReplyDeleteIt was nice of him to be so patient with you LOL...these are great pictures!
Handsome little guy. Sounds like he found himself a good place to call home.
ReplyDeleteHe's some cute, makes me remember child hood when we went for walks in the wood behind the house and watched the wild rabbits running.
ReplyDeleteBunnies are adorable!

Hey, I love the rabbit's thought, at least I understand him (not sure if its him or her)
ReplyDeleteI also like rabbit, I dreamed to have a rabbit someday when I have a lot of time to enjoy life...c",)
What a cute little guy. And very patient with having his photo taken.

ReplyDeleteThat 5th photo is perfect!
ReplyDeleteI love the composition of the grass and how it frames the rabbits eyes. Very cute!!
cute rabbit!
ReplyDeletehave a blessed week karen!
Really a nice set of photographs. It reminds me that we have one this year that comes to the feeding station where we feed birds and squirrels, to eat peanuts. I think they must have something the rabbit needs as she goes at them for a while. She seems to turn up out of nowhere.
ReplyDeleteI love rabbits too ! we had one who just moved in like a cat ! he loved to watch TV with us and went on a newspaper for his business. We never knew from where he came from !
ReplyDeleteHe's a big guy! Nice shots :)

The bunny is absolutely adorable! My favorites are the cottontails :)That's funny that he/she stuck around for so many photos.

ReplyDeleteI like the photos and the captions. A good post!
ReplyDeleteHow nice that the bunny agreed to pose for you!
ReplyDeleteCute bunny. We have a couple hoping around but I can never get a photo of him.
ReplyDeletecute commentary. You almost miss him, he blends in so well with his surroundings.
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely, and love that little rabbit. I have a soft spot for them too as we had them as pets when I was growing up, but nowadays I don't get to see any that often. Love your blog :)
ReplyDeleteRabbit, I wish it would visit me! A wild dream in this city.
ReplyDeleteI had one as a pet when I was a child. :)
