 SHHHH...

BE VEWWY QUIET...
CAN YOU SEE HIM?
LOOK WEALLY CLOSE...
IT'S A WAAABBIT!


 My Bill was cutting the grass last weekend,
and this sweet little rabbit 
was trying his best to find safety in the
holly bushes that surround my porch. 
Bill turned off the mower and they sat there looking at each other for about 10 minutes. Luckily, I could slip down the steps and hand Bill the camera so he could get these shots. 
The rabbit finally turned and made a fast retreat into the woods, dodging the cherry trees and the blooming Bradford pears.

Yesterday, as I was going to work, two deer were standing in the edge of the woods near my car. 
I think they were probably checking to see if my Hostas have come up.
They turned and made their way zig zagging through the trees. 
My heart finally started back.

Spring has arrived in our neck of the woods.

    I just love the pure joy of happening up on a little critter (not snakes, so much). My grandaughter and I saw a beautiful hawk on our walk Friday--wish I had had my camera!

    Good rabbit shot. The deer eat my roses and beginias. I am only planting flowers on the deck or ones the deer will not consider lunch!

    Sweet! I had rabbits at my old house and just love them!! We have chipmunks and squirrels here. Its nice that you enjoy the critters rather than try to get rid of them like so many people do.

    Lovely photos, it's definitely feeling more spring like here too, at last! Fortunately rabbits can't get into our garden here, phew, but I am more than happy to see them hopping about in the fields and woods whilst we are out walking

    So fun! I love seeing animals in the yard, but I've never had a 10 minute stare down with a bunny! I did find a coyote in the backyard in December (I think he was checking out my ladder pile).
