Relaxing Rabbit

It has been a bit on the warm side of late. And even the critters are feeling the heat. Like this Eastern Cottontail outside my window, resting in the cool clover.

A friend and (one time) rabbit keeper told me that a rabbit in this relaxed pose feels safe and secure. And judging how they react when I'm out in the yard, they feel pretty comfortable with me about. 

There are several that call our yard home, each with its own comfort zone, five feet being the closest at least one will allow me to approach.

Perhaps to comfortable in our presence, as they have replaced deer as garden menace number one.

Time for a rabbit fence?
