YESTERYEAR’S GRASS
Sandstone steps covered with yesteryear’s grass lead to the empty hillside where once stood the grand two story home with the wrap around porch. The home looked over the rolling pastures where cows grazed and new born calves ran and played in the lush green fields of Springs new growth.
Wooden chairs provided seats of comfort and the wood slat boards of the porch was the place of rest for the two red bones and the old blue tick hound that chased rabbits in there dreams.
Visiting with those who stopped by passed the evening into night while brother Herman coaxed tunes with his bow from the fiddle against his chin. Sweet iced tea refreshed the sounds of our songs as Grandpa slumbered in his cushioned chair hunting rabbits with his sleeping dogs.
Memories like yesteryear’s grass once again turn green in the fields of the mind with the taste of sweet tea and the hum of an old song while I watch Grandpa chasing rabbits with his hounds, slumbering in my cushioned chair out on my wrap-around porch.
Endless Caverns is a commercial show cave located three miles south of New Market, Virginia. The cave was discovered in October, 1879 by two boys who were hunting rabbits on the farm of Ruben Zirkle. Not long after the discovery, the Zirkles began doing candle lit tours through the cave. In 1919, the cave was bought by Colonel E.T. Brown, who had the cave fully wired and lights installed. Endless Caverns opened to the public as a show cave on August 14, 1920. The present mapped extent of the cave is six miles, making Endless Caverns one of the larger caves in Virginia.
Janette baught me a Birds of Prey Day. Morning spent messing about with the bigger birds, then an afternoon hunting rabbits with hawks.
An extremely well known landmark in reflection. Care to guess at what it is.
Pikey got it in the end.

At Ken Malloy Regional Park, Harbor City. I was wondering why he did not go after the coots. I fired off about 20 shots as he flew with the bunny. Cropped. The bunny got to be at least 2 lb, with the hawk around 3 to 4 lb, it's amazing if you think about it: carrying more than half your body weight and fly about 100 yards.
Bailey spent much of her time at the Hunting Camp hunting rabbits. After a very patient search on Thursday she managed to kill a baby bunny and then carefully left it by the driveway.

While we were hunting rabbits
I came upon a clear
The sky its stars like fortune filled me
Until now I was a soldier
Until now I dealt in fear
These years of cloak and dagger
Have left us disappeared
And I dance and I sing
And I'm a monkey in a long line of kings
And we dance and we sing
And we're all monkeys in a long line
I'm just a boat on the ocean
And I'm just a ship lost at sea (*)

The history of the ferret's domestication is uncertain, like that of most other domestic animals. It is very likely that ferrets have been domesticated for at least 2,500 years. They are still used for hunting rabbits in some parts of the world today, but increasingly they are being kept simply as pets.

Being a wild kid is fun
because I can jump from
tree to tree,
swing from vine,
loving hunting rabbits,
trust in having fun.
Clump is sitting 20 feet from a rabbit burrow. She was not impressed when I disturbed her concentration! She's brought back 4 rabbits this year ,one of which was nearly as big as herself!

Now, we had the two Dunes done, we now just had to re-visit Bishop Middleham once more to see if the Dark Red were open. I hoped they would be.
It was a half hour drive, back along the A1 through Newcastle and Gateshead, coupled with major roadworks, which made for difficult driving, but with the sun out if was pleasant enough. Into County Durham, and off the Great North Road, through some villages, past the huge quarry, through Bishop Middleham and to the disused quarry. Only to find ten cars parked on the narrow road, we just manage to find a space to park, grab our cameras and walk in.
I go straight to the edge of the quarry and look down, once again hoping to see a sea of red from the orchids: I think I see one flowering spike, so I give Jools the thumbs up. She smiles. I hope.
Down the steep steps and onto the floor of the quarry; around there are groups of two of three people looking at the plants and butterflies; they seem to have at least one guide with them. But we know our quarry in the quarry, and so go to where they are thickest. I am stunned to find either spikes not yet in flower, or worse, spikes that have been nibbled by rabbits.
I walk round increasingly desperate: this was supposed to be the slam dunk site: we knew this site, and where the orchids were. In the end we find a handful of flowering spikes, all I have to do now is wait for the sunshine.
Minutes dragged on, maybe 15 minutes, until the big dark cloud above us cleared, and the old quarry was bathed in warm sunshine. I get the shots I wanted, all in glorious sunshine, making the colours of the orchids so vivid.
After chatting with a local man, and showing him the orchids, he then points us to movement on the side of the quarry: a polecat was hunting rabbits and coming out of a rabbit hole and disappearing into another. One more highlight for our trip, but I don’t try to photograph it. It was too far away.

Through the looking glass:
shot through a double glazed patio door window. from 20 feet. he is hunting Rabbits.
Poppy used to love to spend our walks underground hunting rabbit. Thankfully she has discovered the fun of chasing a ball instead. Now she joins in with Jess and the rest of us, which is much more sociable.
