Jeremy Dieterich A Chronicle of My Life

I'm working on catching up from pictures I took around Easter time.  I apologize if several of these posts start with "A couple of weeks ago..."

A couple of weeks back, I was out in the yard raking out some of the places where the dead thatch has built up, when something jumped out from under the rake and stopped along the fence.  I thought it was a frog until I looked closer:

One of our little bunnies had outgrow its nest and was out exploring the world.  I ran inside to grab my camera and got Marci so she could see it.  While we were looking at it, I spotted another little ball of fur in the grass.  Then I checked the nest to see if any were still inside and found it empty, but with another bunny in the tall grass nearby.  Marci turned to go back inside, but I stopped her to point out another one that was just inches from her foot!

I'm pretty sure there were four in this litter, unless one took off before I'd discovered the others.  After that first day, they've gotten bigger and quicker.  I'll just see little blurs dart under the deck or along the fence between the sheds.  I've not seen more than one at a time since that first day, so I'm not sure if they're all still here, or if only one or two are sticking it out close to home. They've been too fast and too sneaky for me to get any more photos, but I'll keep my eyes peeled.
