one small stone and a one small bun



First note the two inch high ears--the small stone I'm tossing in the river today. Amazing.
Along a walk to Caribou Coffee I saw this new rabbit  foraging in a vacant lot. Needless to say I almost missed him because he was so one with his surroundings. And don't think I didn't envy his/her lunch of dandelion greens too!

Happy weekend my bloggy friends! Keep watching and listening.

a mouse or a man?

a rock or a rabbit? You can't scare me!

This cottontail was reluctant to leave the yard she was visiting due to all the snacky variety under the bird feeders. So, I got this look, oddly reminiscent of my teenage daughters a long time ago. Visit Camera Critters for more furry/feathered faces.

I am enamored with footprints left behind by little furry feet and can't leave their images behind without a photograph or two. I've saved these from the past winter. . .with the certainty that there'll be more to come this winter. Thus, my contribution to ABC Wednesday's letter P for 'prints.'

Appreciation is a wonderful thing.

It makes what is excellent in others

belong to us as well.

Happy Middle-o-the-Week!

Crazy rabbit!

The Walker Art Center of contemporary art is one of the first museums I visited when I moved to the Twin Cities two years ago this month. It is a beautiful building which has the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden literally in its back yard, including this sculpture. The large sculpture, size compared to the bench behind, is called Hare on Bell on Portland Stone Piers made from bronze and limestone by Barry Flanagan in 1983.

This photo always makes me smile because of the strange contrast between a playful bunny and a bronze bell. . .what was Flanagan thinking?. . .all the more appropriate for Misty Dawn's Camera Critters this week. Visit more incredible creatures here and maybe share a milk bone in honor of CC's 1/2 year anniversary!

Welcome to the Twilight Zone. . .

I caught a glimpse of this little angora rabbit at the Shepherd's Harvest Sheep & Wool Festival yesterday in Lake Elmo. I have never felt anything so soft either. But his ears were too much because I'm old enough to remember how we had to manipulate rabbit ears --with foil wrappers--to 'bring in' the show we wanted to watch on t.v. All very high tech.

This guy is my entry on Camera Critters today. I hope he makes your day. See Misty Dawn's site for more critters that will make you smile.
