DSC_4291 Cottontail in the shadows

Just some target practice walking around the home place last night...this Cottontail appeared to be frozen in place, but I knew better. It was 107 degrees at the time! Our AccuWeather unit informed me that we hit 117 F (47.2 C) with a "feels like" heat index of 123 (56.1 C). I went outdoors and walked around for 20 minutes to experience that historic level of heat and I can report that it had a distinctive bite to it, especially in the direct sunlight.
