It’s spring time
I’m abounding with joy
There’s a cute little bunny that drops by the garden each spring
He’s an elusive frisky little fella
Ears always at attention, pointed straight up to sky like soldier resolute to flight, not fight
At best I’ve managed only to stare longingly at “His Royal Cuteness”
Face pressed up against the window pane, I stare intently
In fear, that even a flutter of my eyelashes and he’ll bow out
This is the year
Armed and ready I am
I’ll not concede or give in on this relentless pursuit
This is the spring where he’ll surrender to the will of my intent
Suspending his whim of flight for a moment long enough for—
Aim . . .
Shoot . . .
Got it!
The shot I’ve been pursuing in spring times past
My spring time bunny visitor
Forever captured, frozen for a moment-in-time, behind bars

Cute, but they can nibble quite a lot before they are finished! 😀

Yes last summer she left her babies in the garden and they had a belly full every day. They were happy my fliers weren’t. Let’s see what happens this year. If they’re back I’ll have to protect the flowers somehow (another thing I’ll need to google how to do🙃😀🙃)

Sometimes an 18″ fence around the exterior is enough, depending how determined they are (and delectable the plants inside are). I’ve had them burrow under a fence (I have to bury it a couple inches) or jump over it. Good luck!

I guess my work is cut out for me. I allowed them to eat at will so the mom may target me again 🙂😂
