A Visit from the Easter Bunny

Easter Bunny - This one came to see me and was most welcome...as long as he does not eat my salad greens.

This little guy was making eyes at my lettuce, I think, but then he went out to the street in front of my home and dared me to take a picture. It was nice of him to sit still long enough for me to run and get the camera. Do you like rabbits? Which do you prefer: chocolate bunnies, real ones like in my photo, or some other kind? HAPPY EASTER, everyone.

Nice! Eventhough I am a slight bit late at responding, happy belated Easter to You! Silly Wabbit, he may want to get off the street before a big car comes by! Great photo by the way. Thanks for sharing. I love bunnies, especially chocolate ones. Temporarily cures my chocoholic cravings you know. I love wild bunnies, the jack rabbits but out in the woods away from the fields so to not wreck havoc on them, digging holes as this is dangerous for livestock, especially the horses! The bunny in your photo looks like a Jack Rabbit. Is this a wild bunny? There is something about a white angora bunny. So soft, white and clean. I think that these are my favorite by far for sure, even over the chocolate ones.

Nice, we used to have wild Jack rabbits as well. I seen one just yesterday in fact, bolting out of the bushes. He was a small one, I think a baby but it was still startling. I like to see the bunnies in the wild but I do not like the holes that they can dig. Yes, angoras are so soft and pretty. I love to feed the pet bunnies grass and dandelions.

He is a neighborhood bunny, part wild and part jackrabbit I think, but not like the ones we have at our other place, where they are "authentic" jackrabbits with huge ears and muddier coloring and so BIG that when they come bounding out of nowhere they are actually a bit scary. Yes, the white angora ones are lovely!

I just hope your lettuces are saved at the cost of the photo session that we all are enjoying. Thanks to him. Rabbits? I remember seeing one very closely in one of those holidays when we were digging for treasures in our farm house. I was quite young then and the rabbits were quite naughty. The white one with red eyes caught me attention. Or was it the guinea!!??

Wow..that's so cute. The only rabbits I've seen in real have been really dirty :( Mostly in the zoological parts. Obviously no one takes care of them. I prefer the rabbit pictures especially the ones in children's books...they are so cute and fluffy. Happy Easter to you and your family!

I wasn't close enough to see the zoological parts of these rabbits. I used a telephoto lens for the picture, rflol! ACK!

Hey drannhh! How perfectly adorable! Do you have rabbits visiting you often? I wish we had rabbits here where I live! We used to many years ago when I was a little girl and lived in Long Island! Every now and then we would see a rabbit! Now I just see squirrels, racoons and skunks! And could definitely do without the latter! They should be coming out of hiding very soon! I have to be really careful at night when I go to take out the trash because I have come face to face with more than one of those black and white critters and I know that I was the more scared and ran like hell back in the house as fast as I could!lol Happy Easter to you too!

Yes, they come every day. Haven't had a skunk at my place yet, but we smelled one not long ago when a neighbor and I were driving the security cart around on our neighborhood watch patrol.

Thank you for uploading such a pretty Easter graphic. Yes we have to be careful of those carnivorous creatures. I am thinking of the neighbor's big dogy. Of my 5 closest neighbors, five of them have at least one dog. The requirement in my gated community is no more than 25 lbs per animal, but this one is bigger than that. So much for the rules.

Rabbits are great fun. I had one as a pet when I was in high school. She was litter box trained and would play ball. Her favorite snack food was either potato chips or popcorn. We would let her out of her cage and she would hop over to my dad, sit up on her back legs and wait for him to give her a snack. She was so cute. Only problem is that a rabbit's life span is not that long.

I sincerely believe it was an Easter present from that rabbit to me as I have tried SO many times to capture one in a photography and this is the first time I got even close. Your high school rabbit sounds SO cute. Thank you for sharing, although it is sad to know that she did not live long. One gets quite attached to a nice pet like that.

I know that one from Tales of the Panchatantra. I was a teenager when I read that delightful book. It is wonderful that now some of these stories are available to view online: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQ6_8pkr4tE

I bet he was cute! I wish I could have seen him! I like the real bunnies the best! The chocoloate ones are good, too, lol! I always wanted a pet rabbit but I never did have one. You were lucky he was still waiting for you to get the camera. Most animals, like my dog, for example, just won't be still for one, lol! Kathy.

I hid behind the corner of the house to take the picture, and when I stepped forward to get a closer shot, he vanished into thin air. My neighbor's cat won't let me take a picture of him, so I know what you mean. Happy Easter, Kathy.
