Bunny still in residence

Here's my now much larger rabbit in residence, wandering around the back yard eating clover. He was under my dogwood tree yesterday at dusk having a little bedtime snack, and this morning I startled him under the side yard hedge when I went out to water flowers. I don't think he is full grown yet, but how much bigger he's gotten in only a week or two! I'm waiting for when he figures out he can reach my tomato plants by standing on his rear legs and stretching. For now, the pot is too tall and the tomatoes are safe, but it's only a matter of time.

What's cuter than a baby bunny?

Almost nothing, that's what. You can barely see him in the picture, in front and to the left of the white pot. He's a wee little thing that I have watched for a few weeks now. He hides in tall grass, with just the tips of his ears showing, and wanders around eating clover in my back yard. Every year we have bunnies. I don't know how they manage in a subdivision like this. We're inside the city too, so there's not a lot of places for wild things to shelter. But they perservere. Rabbits and chipmunks, squirrels, doves and birds of all sorts, sometimes a groundhog. It shakes you out of your "city mind" to see a little bit of untamed nature roaming through your manicured lawn.
