I finally have something to post here. Not that I don't see alot of wildlife here in the country, I do, but I don't always have the camera with me.
For about a year now there has been this little black rabbit that I see almost every morning. He comes out of the woods and runs around on my neighbors lawn or mine. He has taken to eating the neighbors pet goats food, clover and now of course what ever he desires out of our gardens. Amazingly he does NOT destroy the garden, he is very gentle and not a greedy bunny! He and his mate were let loose 2 years ago by the people down the street and have survived, until last year his mate was hit by a car. Thats when I started to really pay attention to him as he was alone and I was concerned he would try to cross the road looking for her.
I often see him in the early morning when I go out to take pictures of my flowers. He never lets me get close enough to get a good picture so I had pretty much given up on catching him on film. This morning he must of had a change of heart or finally figured out im not a threat to him. He came up into the driveway in between my DH truck and mine and let me take several photos, getting closer to him each time. Here's what I got.
