Judy's Photoblog
Our resident wild friend...
Posted by Judy (Brooksville, Florida, United States) on 1 September 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.
This lovely little rabbit likes to sleep beneath our shrubbery; we never know exactly where we'll find it. Do you think it's a Peter or a Piper?
Thank you so much for visiting my blog; your comments are greatly appreciated. I apologize for not getting to all of your posts. I will visit as time permits.

I think it's a Peter. Either way it's a great shot.

@Helen: Thank you, Helen.

I agree, Peter Cotton Tail for sure. What a great picture of him. We have a few around here too, but haven't been able to get a clear shot of one. Have a good Monday Judy.

@Marion: I was amazed that s/he allowed me this close - about six feet away. I moved VERY slowly both moving in and then away.

I must say I agree definately a Peter and I made up my mind before I read the other comments. You did well to get such a lovely clear photo

@jamesy: Thank you ......... more votes for Peter, but I had the feeling it was a she! ;D
Lorraine from Gatineau, Canada
I was thinking Doris, I don't know why, either way she's adorable, great, great macro of this gentle beauty :)

@Lorraine: Thanks, Lorraine; I felt she was a she too. ;D
Betty from New Jersey, United States
It's a Piper! She's beautiful! Great capture, Judy... she has beautiful eyes!

@Betty: Thanks again ... her eyes really spoke to me and I'm happy she trusted my presence.
Capture from Hoover, United States
Great capture. Made me think of the book Watership Down and it also reminded me of a little "bunny" that I rescued when I was a child. I love looking at your pictures and reading your comments.

@Capture: Thank you so much, 'Capture' ... I appreciate your comment.
Chris from South Jersey, United States
How cute - we have lots of rabbits in our yard as well (and Daisy loves to chase them!!).

@Chris: Yes, I'd imagine you'd have your fair share with the open space around you. Mike is convinced he should build a natural-type hutch for them, but our neighbor isn't in favor of that. :D
MJ from Delaware, United States
What a cute bunny... We have a few running around , but with the neighbors cats.....
I love the grass around her and the look ... really adorable

@MJ: Thanks, MJ ... and there are two more shots coming!
tyan from Singapore, Singapore

@tyan: Hi Ty, and I have two more of this wonderful bunny coming. However.........she wouldn't have stayed with active children around, I'm sure. ;D
Peter Miller from Lichfield, United Kingdom
Friendly rabbit, not sure what his/her name is, hope it keeps safe
1 Sep 2008 2:54pm
@Peter Miller: S/he is safely tucked away in some little hideout, I'm sure. Dogs can't run loose here, so the rabbits are pretty safe.
@valenttin: Awwwww, I couldn't eat her. ;D
@Ina: Thanks, Ina.
MaryB from Staffordshire, United Kingdom
Oh he just has to be a Peter, he is so adorable Judy, beautiful shot.
1 Sep 2008 11:25pm
@MaryB: Thank you, Mary ... you'll have to see tomorrow's shot! ;D
Observing from West Cheshire, United Kingdom
Cute little rabbit, do you feed him..? It's a lovely shot.
1 Sep 2008 11:44pm
@Observing: No, Mike, we haven't fed them, but my Mike would love to build a natural style hutch for them.
@Magda: Thank you, Magda, but you'll have to come back to see tomorrow's shot. ;D
Dylan from Delhi, United States
Nice shot Judy. I was about ten feet from a Rabbit the other day. It was hopping through some flowers. No camera though.

@Dylan: Oops........no camera, no photo; poor Dylan! <grin>
Barbara from Florida, United States
Another great view and angle. Now I see what you meant by resident friend II. As in second shot. Still there must be more "friends" hopping around. Nice shot.

@Barbara: We had seen two young ones earlier this summer, and this may be one of them - have no idea where they 'hide out'.
