This juvenile rabbit was contemplating a meal of some of my coreopsis.  In fact, he managed to gulp down a few until a blue jay swooped in on the feeder imitating a hawk's call.  He took off like a shot.     Taken with Oly and Fuji.

As a teen I rescued 3 baby rabbits and took them home to Mom.  Theirs has left them and they were dying.  Being wild they never took to people very well.  As I remember 2 did die, but one lived for a couple of years.  He wouldn't let any one handle him except mom.  She had a way with animals that to this day I envy.

These are wonderful pictures and the rabbit sure looks like Peter!

This is a great story picture Gary well done!  I love number 3 the alertness and wariness is captured so well!

They tend not to do well in captivity, Judy... as with most things wild.  I know *I* don't do well in captivity. 

Thanks for your kind words.

 These shots look great on my monitor Gary! But then the color and clarity of most your shots do.
Good job as usual.

JudyB: Where in the world did you come up with a name like Peter for a rabbit of all things? 

I wondered about that name for a rabbit, too, Jim! 

I know rabbits are supposed to be famous for the size of their ears, but just look at those eyes!   

He was a typical Peter, and lived for quite a long time.  They didn't have their eyes open when I got them.  their Mom was obviously not coming back as they were very weak and hungry.

I love the eyes on these pictures too especially number 3.

I do agree, the eyes really make a statement. Then again, perhaps the statement was made by the artist.
