Bunnies!

Over the last few weeks, we've had two hawks, countless squirrels and chipmunks, one woodpecker and a couple of really cute brown bunnies hanging out in our yard. One evening in particular I noticed two bunnies playing in the yard next to our deck. So Kane and I went out and spent about 20 minutes watching them. First they were trying to "make babies" (as Kane pointed out), but the female kept hopping away before anything could happen. Then, they just hung out for awhile eating the clover and wild strawberries that grow in our yard, and hopping around. It was amazing to be able to watch them for so long, and to see how comfortable they were.

Seeing the bunnies is always fun, but the hawks are absolutely gorgeous. Not only do we see them in the backyard, but we've also had one sitting on a low branch (about as tall as I am) in a tree in our front yard -- just about 10 feet from our front door. We hope to catch a picture of him next time. So far we've missed him every time.

The pictures here are from the bunny that paid us a visit last night. I couldn't get close enough to get a better shot without scaring him off...so, these are the best I could do! Maybe we'll have better luck next time!
