Well, I was TRYING to take some contest photos today...

[regnaD kciN]

...but it seems I had some competition. You see, while I was trying to photograph the flowers, this guy was trying to eat them.





Here he is, finishing the last gulps of what might have been a contest-winning subject. :-(



As you can see, he seemed pretty fearless.



Oh, well. Can I vote for "Non-Companion Animals" as the topic for July's contest? ;-)

1. Hehehe, well he doesn't look underfed :)

It's times like that I wish I had a good optically stabilized zoom lens to catch the critters :)

5. Actually, I was wishing for something else to catch that critter...

;-)

For a few moments, I had an image of Elmer Fudd marching off, blunderbuss in hand, singing "Gonna hunt the wabbit, gonna hunt the wabbit..."

(No, I really wouldn't wish any harm on a rabbit. He had more right to get food than I had to get photos.)

2. See, you missed your chance to do something different

Take a pic of his spoor and enter it... that is flowers, after all!

3. That's why they call them "Wascalie Wabbits"

4. There was a second rabbit, too...

...a little farther down the trail. That one, however, took off before I could get a picture. A suspicious lack of flowers in the immediate area, though.

At that moment, I began wondering which DU photographer had hired the International Brotherhood of Bunny Rabbits (a division of the Teamsters) to sabotage the competition. ;-)

6. My vampire squirrel will kick that bunny's tail in a heart-beat..

(Not the photo. My housing complex is over-run with black squirrels which appear to fear nothing.)

7. awe I love bunnies

it's cool you get them around your place.

I get stray cats.

8. Next trip out Hwy20, stop at the "Bunny Motel" -

About the bunnies in particular: http://www.northcascades.com/bunnies.htm

Dog thought she was having a vision of heaven, and fortunately the casual attitude of the bunnies did not trigger the strong chase reflex that would have broken the illusion.

9. Good pictures. Here are my critter pictures.

10. Believe it or not...

Today, I'm taking pictures at a completely different location, a half-hour drive away from the first, and what do I get?



You guessed it. Another. Damn. Rabbit.

:banghead:

This time, I didn't even get a good rabbit photo out of the deal. I was about to, but some teenage future Republican decided to start a game of "Let's Catch the Bunny!" just as I was hitting the shutter, and Bugs hopped away at top speed. :grr:
